Updated

stbimage.h and stbvorbis libraries contain several memory access violations of different severity.

Other sources

stbvorbis is a single file MIT licensed library for processing ogg vorbis files. A crafted file may trigger memory allocation failure in startdecoder. In that case the function returns early, but some of the pointers in f->commentlist are left initialized and later setupfree is called on these pointers in vorbisdeinit. This issue may lead to code execution.
