This patch resolves two heap corruption vulnerabilities in the CDG
decoder for VLC media player.  In both cases, a failure to properly
validate indexes into statically-sized arrays on the heap could allow a
maliciously crafted CDG video to corrupt the heap in a controlled
manner, potentially leading to code execution.

The patch is against v1.1.5 from vlc git, but this decoder hasn't been
touched in awhile, so I'd expect it to cleanly apply to older versions.
I've tested it and confirmed it resolves the heap corruption issues and
does not break functionality.
