Subject: Multiple memory corruptions caused by uninitialized values in JasPer 1.900

Hi,

Following Raphael's advice, i found some memory corruptions in JasPer 1.900
after a quick round of fuzzing of the regression tests of Openjpeg. A few
interesting test cases are available here:

https://zimbra.imag.fr/home/gustavo.grieco@imag.fr/Briefcase/Public/cases.tar.gz

They are compressed to avoid easily crash programs like Nautilus and
Firefox. All them can be verified using:

jasper --input $filename --output-format pnm

(tested in Ubuntu 14.04, 32-bit but it should work in other configurations)

Additionally. sigsegv.jp2 crashes most of the programs using gdk-pixbuf
like Firefox and Chrome (!). I report them this issue a few days ago and
advise them to disable preview of jpeg images since Jasper is unmaintained
and vulnerable. Mozilla developers are working hard trying to find a
workaround to avoid use vulnerable code.
On the other hand, Chromium developers dismissed this issue saying that
they will wait the "upstream fix".

I think the cause of such memory corruptions is uninitialized values, taken
from the heap, as valgrind reports:
