Upgrade FFmpeg to version 2.8.3 or higher.

Overview

FFmpeg is a FFmpeg static library ruby binding that is compiled for iOS and CocoaPods.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow. This is because gifdec.c doesn't correctly compute image heights allowing attackers to cause out-of-bounds access errors though GIF data.
