Summary0002515: Malformed gifs can cause bad array indexing in gif_decode_frame()
DescriptionSince last_undisposed_frame is decremented after being tested for -1, but before being used as an index, the loop

    while ((last_undisposed_frame != -1) && (gif->frames[--last_undisposed_frame].disposal_method == GIF_FRAME_RESTORE))
        ;

can sometimes evaluate gif->frames[-1] if the gif is sufficiently malformed.

(Found while I was playing around with AFL.)
Steps To ReproduceRun test_decode_gif on attached file, which should consistently produce a segfault.
Additional InformationI locally replaced the loop with the naive

    --last_undisposed_frame;
    while ((last_undisposed_frame >= 0) && (gif->frames[last_undisposed_frame].disposal_method == GIF_FRAME_RESTORE))
        --last_undisposed_frame;

This fixed the issue for me and doesn't seem to break anything.
