Bug#809779: libavutil-dev: Memory Leak in buffer

[Leszek Lesner (Web.de)]

Package: libavutil-dev
Version: 6:10.1-1~bpo70+1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

There is a memory leak that leads to players using libav hogging memory like
crazy until RAM and Swap is full and OOM Killer kicks in when playing back
streaming media.

This bug was reported here for mpv and turned out to be a memory leak in 
libav:

It is fixed in later releases though the wheezy-backports version still suffers
from it
