A flaw was found in FFmpeg. The tdsc_load_cursor() function writes beyond
the bounds of a heap-allocated buffer when processing crafted TDSC cursor
data. A remote attacker could exploit this by supplying a specially crafted
video file, potentially leading to a denial of service or arbitrary code
execution.
