[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 01/25] avformat/matroskadec: Fix heap-buffer overflow upon gigantic timestamps

The WebM DASH Manifest demuxer creates a comma-delimited list of
all the timestamps of index entries. It allocates 20 bytes per
timestamp; yet the largest 64bit numbers have 20 decimal digits
(for int64_t it can be '-'+ 19 digits), so that one needs 21B
per entry because of the comma (resp. the final NUL).

The code uses snprintf, but snprintf returns the strlen of the string
that would have been written had the supplied buffer been big enough.
And if this is 21, then the next entry is written at an offset of 21
from the current position. So if enough such entries exist, the buffer
won't suffice.

This commit fixes this by replacing the allocation of buffer for
the supposedly worst-case with dynamic allocations by using an AVBPrint.
