AST-2013-001: Prevent buffer overflow through H.264 format negotiation

The format attribute resource for H.264 video performs an unsafe read against a
media attribute when parsing the SDP. The value passed in with the format
attribute is not checked for its length when parsed into a fixed length buffer.
This patch resolves the vulnerability by only reading as many characters from
the SDP value as will fit into the buffer.
