Should Google be doing more to support ffmpeg? Yes.

Should Google stop devoting resources to identifying and reporting security vulnerabilities in ffmpeg?

I cannot bring myself to a mindset where my answer to this question is also "yes".

It would be one thing if Google were pressuring the ffmpeg maintainers in their prioritization decisions, but as far as I can tell, Google is essentially just disclosing that this vulnerability exists?

Maybe the CVE process carries prioritization implications I don't fully understand. Eager to be educated if that is the case.



So clearly there's only one correct answer here? Which is what the ffmpeg folks are driving at
