Until a fix is applied, avoid processing untrusted Musepack SV7 files or use alternative decoders.

Description

FFmpeg versions through 9.0.2 have an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Musepack SV7 decoder. The issue arises because the function mpc7_decode_init() does not properly validate the last frame length against the maximum allowed frame size. Maliciously crafted Musepack SV7 files can declare an oversized final frame, causing the decoder to read beyond the audio buffer. This can lead to application crashes or disclosure of heap memory contents.
