The attached testcase crashes on mozilla-inbound revision f30fc906416f (build with --enable-optimize --disable-debug --enable-address-sanitizer).

For detailed crash information, see attachment.

To reproduce the issue, you can run the testcase through the "MediaDataDecoder.H264" gtest. Example STR:

1. Change into objdir/dist/bin of your Firefox build
2. Place attached testcase into objdir, keep the name "gizmo.mp4"
3. Run: GTEST_FILTER=MediaDataDecoder.H264 MOZ_RUN_GTEST=1 ./firefox -unittest


Unfortunately the test is intermittent. The attached sample reproduces fairly well for me (at least 1 of 10 runs). Fixing this issue is quite important since it causes a lot of crashes in fuzzing. Marking as fuzzblocker and stopping this type of fuzzing until this crash is fixed.

Which version of ffmpeg are you using?

Can you reproduce with the latest? (3.0)
Seems to me that this bug is within Benchmark class and not in the decoder or demuxer. 

My guess is that it's possible a task is dispatched at the same time the task queue is being shutdown. 

Now I don't know if we simply work around In Benchmark by making mFinished a mutable and testing it before dispatching the task. Or there could be an issue in TaskQueues themselves.
I'm just using what is in mozilla-inbound. I can try a fix if you have one :)

we don't ship ffmpeg. So if you are decoding h264, you must have ffmpeg installed somewhere.

[Feature/regressing bug #]: 1256626
[User impact if declined]: We aim to enable VP9 to all machines fast enough to support it. It would also reduce issues seen with h264 hardware decoder.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: in central for a few weeks.
[Risks and why]: none, prevent crash

Media team wants to enable VP9 on faster machines in 47, I have been told this is mostly a staged rollout and quality is acceptable. Aurora47+
