libavcodec in FFmpeg 4.0 may trigger a NULL pointer dereference if the studio profile is incorrectly detected while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service, related to idctdsp.c and mpegvideo.c.
The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.
