Not just that the bug they reported only affects some obscure LucasArt codec which isn't even included in the build by default. Plus I'm pretty sure Google heavily uses ffmpeg for YouTube.

    Plus google doesn't really care if the obscure LucasArt codec is actually fixed, they're raising the bugs publicly to sell their AI. This is marketing, not security. The more bugs it finds the better, since sales doesn't care about the quality of the bugs found.
