Package: vlc
Version: 3.0.21-0+deb11u1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: t...@security.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

I have recently updated packages on my Debian Bullseye system, which
also updated VLC from 3.0.20 to 3.0.21. After the update, I noticed that
whenever I try to seek in a video, VLC crashes. The error message
(attached below) says something about a hardware acceleration related
failure, and sure enough, disabling the hardware acceleration makes VLC
no longer crash. However, the hardware acceleration worked just fine
before the update (with Simple Preferences -> Input/Codecs ->
Hardware-accelerated decoding: Automatic) and I hate not being able to
use it as the software decoding adds unnecessary strain on the CPU with
the iGPU sitting idle.

Attached you can find the colored VLC output, along with the gdb
backtrace. The output is of the following command, as per the VLC bug
report and HowToGetABacktrace wiki suggestions:

$ script -q -c "gdb -batch -n -ex 'set pagination off' -ex run -ex bt -ex
'bt full' -ex 'thread apply all bt full' --args vlc -vvv
/tmp/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4" vlc-crash.log

With the colors being preserved, VLC errors are easier to spot as VLC
prints them in red. You can read the file with `less -R` or just `cat`
it into the terminal.

BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4 is a video sample taken from
https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/ in case you
would want to try to reproduce the issue.

A quick search reveals that I'm not the only one experiencing this bug:
-
https://old.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1dw0b51/regression_in_bullseye_vlcffmpegvdpau/
- https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&p=545256
- A user in #debian on OFTC IRC was complaining about the same issue
  just two days ago: VLC just closing when fast-forwarding in VLC 3.0.21
  on Debian Bullseye 11.10

The bug severity is "important" instead of "grave" as this might be
driver/hardware or hardware-acceleration subsystem (vaapi) dependent,
and because audio files play just fine for me, so the VLC functionality
might not be broken for everyone / for all use cases. Please adjust as
appropriate.
