I'm cloning this bug report to keep track of the unfixed CVEs.
It seems to me that non of the above five entries have neither
publicly accessible samples nor any public discussion on neither
oss-sec nor fulldisc. It remains unclear whether or not they affect
libav at all.
While I agree that these issues should be investigated in more detail,
the lack of instructions how to confirm and reproduce the issue makes
working on this bug unreasonably hard. I'm therefore downgrading the
severity of this issue to the non-RC severity important; this bug
does not seem release critical to me at all.
