FFmpeg before commit acf5d7c contains a heap buffer overflow in the hvcC box writer. When writing an HEVC configuration record with more NAL units of a single type than the count field can represent, the NAL unit count overflows, causing a heap buffer overflow. A crafted HEVC input file triggers the overflow during muxing.
