Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted high-resolution videos encoded with the prores_ks encoder.

Description

FFmpeg versions through 9.0.2 have an integer overflow vulnerability in the ff_prores_kostya_encode_init() function. This flaw causes incorrect calculation of frame_size_upper_bound using 32-bit arithmetic for large frame dimensions. An attacker can exploit this by supplying a high-resolution video encoded with the prores_ks encoder, leading to heap memory corruption due to buffer overflow during encoding.
