Describe the bug

This bug allows to free an invalid address which is dangerous, the pointer to be free seems corrupted.

To Reproduce

cd /path/to/davs2/build/linux/
./configure --enable-pic
vim config.mak (add -fsanitize=address to CFLAGS, and -fsanitize=address -lasan to LDFLAGS)
make
./davs2 -i /path/to/poc2.avs -o test.yuv
