Overview
FFmpeg is a FFmpeg static library ruby binding that is compiled for iOS and CocoaPods.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference due to an integer underflow in the tts_count variable. When sc->tts_count is 0, decrementing it causes it to wrap around to UINT_MAX, leading to an out-of-bounds access.
