[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/7] avcodec/cbs: Check for overflow when reading

While CBS itself uses size_t for sizes, it relies on other APIs that use
int for their sizes; in particular, AVBuffer uses int for their size
parameters and so does GetBitContext with their number of bits. While
CBS aims to be a safe API, the checks it employed were not sufficient to
prevent overflows: E.g. if the size of a unit was > UINT_MAX / 8, 8 *
said size may be truncated to a positive integer before being passed to
init_get_bits() in which case its return value would not indicate an
error.

These checks have been improved to really capture these kinds of errors;
furthermore, although the sizes are still size_t, they are now de-facto
restricted to 0..INT_MAX - AV_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE.

The check in cbs_insert_unit() can currently not be triggered, because
av_malloc_array makes sure that it doesn't allocate more than INT_MAX;
so the allocation will fail long before we get even close to INT_MAX.

av1 and H.26x have not been changed, because their split functions
already check the size (in case of H.264 and H.265 this happens in
ff_h2645_packet_split()).

It would btw be possible to open the GetBitContext generically. The
read_unit function would then get the already opened GetBitContext
as a parameter.
