This is not a real bug in FFmpeg. This is a demonstration that if you control a custom AVIO module it is possible to crash FFmpeg by giving it bad data.

Not custom. It's an existing module for a format called VPK. It's a quite trivial bug though, not exploitable apart from DOS and won't ever happen in a real file.
