podofo: invalid memory read in ColorChanger::GetColorFromStack (colorchanger.cpp)

Description:
podofo is a C++ library to work with the PDF file format.

A fuzz on it discovered an invalid memory read. The upstream project denies me to open a new ticket. So, I just will forward this on the -users mailing list.

The complete ASan output:
