Summary

A race condition vulnerability in the VideoLAN dav1d library prior to version 1.2.0 can lead to an unexpected application crash. This issue, specifically found in the thread_task.c file, relates to the dav1d_decode_frame_exit function. When multiple threads attempt to access shared resources concurrently, it may result in inconsistent states that compromise application stability. It's crucial for users to upgrade to version 1.2.0 or later to mitigate this risk and ensure reliable functionality.
