-Subject: [PATCH] opj_jp2_read_header: Check for error after parsing header.
-
-Consider the case where the caller has not set the p_image
-pointer to NULL before calling opj_read_header().
-
-If opj_j2k_read_header_procedure() fails while obtaining the rest
-of the marker segment when calling opj_stream_read_data() because
-the data stream is too short, then opj_j2k_read_header() will
-never have the chance to initialize p_image, leaving it
-uninitialized.
-
-opj_jp2_read_header() will check the p_image value whether
-opj_j2k_read_header() suceeded or failed. This may be detected as
-an error in valgrind or ASAN.
-
-The fix is to check whether opj_j2k_read_header() suceeded before
-using the output argument p_image.
-
-Upstream: https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg/commit/f809b80c67717c152a5ad30bf06774f00da4fd2d
