+This document is work in progress
+It describes how to select the CVSS for a FFmpeg related CVE.
+(bits of text below where stolen from YesWeHack Comments)
+
+The following are general guidlines and specific cases may differ.
+
+Not a network component -> Attack Vector : Local
+    Vulnerabilities where malicious data is received over a network by one 
component, then passed to a separate component with a vulnerability should be 
scored with an Attack Vector of Local
+
+Crashes -> AVAILABILITY IMPACT: Low
+    In many cases, FFmpeg is executed in a "one shot" manner rather than as a 
long running service processing sequential user input. In such scenarios, a 
crash may have limited impact
+
+Specific Filter Parameters -> User Interaction: Required
+    An attacker can in general not freely set filter Parameters. It requires 
the owner of the cloud account, end user or admin to set them.
