zziplib: NULL pointer dereference in zzip_mem_entry_new (memdisk.c)

Description:
zziplib is an intentionally lightweight library that offers the ability to easily extract data from files archived in a single zip file.

A fuzz on it discovered an NULL pointer access.

The complete ASan output:

# unzzipcat-mem $FILE
==7955==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x00000000001a (pc 0x7fcfc78e3c50 bp 0x7ffdf55d4f70 sp 0x7ffdf55d4e40 T0)
==7955==The signal is caused by a READ memory access.

also, the undefined behavior sanitizer says about:
