Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Denial of Service: Improper handling of FFmpeg's video and audio packets (av_read_frame) on error paths and within processing loops leads to severe memory leaks, enabling memory-exhaustion Denial of Service.
Integer Overflow: Sign extension issues when parsing binary headers (specifically shifting signed char bytes directly into 32-bit integers) cause incorrect dimensions and buffer sizes, leading to potential out-of-bounds operations or overflows.
Denial of Service: The lack of virtual destructors in polymorphic base classes like AvroParser leads to incomplete object destruction and memory leaks when derived parser instances are deleted.
