[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/3] avformat/matroskadec: Sanitize SeekHead entries

A Seek element in a Matroska SeekHead should contain a SeekID and a
SeekPosition element and upon reading, they should be sanitized:

Given that IDs are restricted to 32 bit, longer SeekIDs should be treated
as invalid. Instead currently the lower 32 bits have been used.

For SeekPosition, no checks were performed for the element to be
present and if present, whether it was excessively large (i.e. the
absolute file position described by it exceeding INT64_MAX). The
SeekPosition element had a default value of -1 which means that a check
seems to have been intended; but it was not implemented. This commit adds
a check for overflow to the calculation of the absolute file position of
the referenced level 1 elements.
Using -1 (i.e. UINT64_MAX) as default value for SeekPosition implies that
a Seek element without SeekPosition will run afoul of this check.
