CVE-2017-14059 Information

Description

In FFmpeg 3.3.3 a DoS in cine_read_header() due to lack of an EOF check might cause huge CPU and memory consumption. When a crafted CINE file which claims a large \duration\ field in the header but does not contain sufficient backing data is provided the image-offset parsing loop would consume huge CPU and memory resources since there is no EOF check inside the loop.
