 Hi FFmpeg developers,

 We are a team working on experimental program analysis features based on
 fuzzing. Recently when tracking the usage of libass, we notice that the
 function call to `ass_process_chunk` is passing data buffer `ass_line`
 with size of data determined with `strlen` in
 `libavfilter/vf_subtitles.c`.

 While the call dependency being long and not a crash discovered by running
 full FFmpeg, we wondered whether there will be a chance for `ass_line`
 being passed with non null-byte terminated string, resulting in
 calculating the wrong length of data to process for `ass_process_chunk`?

 Similar doubt happens at the locations of calling
 `ass_process_codec_private` and `ass_add_font` as well.

 We attach the automatic synthesized fuzzing harness we used to discover
 this potential issue. This is generated by extracting the local usage of
 FFmpeg calling `ass_process_chunk` then fuzz with libfuzzer.

 Thank you in advance for your time on clarifying our question.
