Stack buffer overflow(read) in function bark_noise_hybridmp() of libvorbis-1.3.6, which is caused by lacking of array length check.

I found a stack buffer overflow vul in function bark_noise_hybridmp() of libvorbis-1.3.6 by fuzzing libtheora, the crash sample behaves as follows:

(gdb) bt

This vul is because of lacking of array len check , and I recommand a patch as follows: psy.c:

     602   for (i = 0, x = 0.f;; i++, x += 1.f) {
     603 
     604     lo = b[i] >> 16;
     605     if( lo>=0 ) break;
     606     hi = b[i] & 0xffff;
     607     if(hi>=n || -lo>=n)break;//recommanded patch for this vul
     608     tN = N[hi] + N[-lo];
     609     tX = X[hi] - X[-lo];
     610     tXX = XX[hi] + XX[-lo];
     611     tY = Y[hi] + Y[-lo];
     612     tXY = XY[hi] - XY[-lo];

Note: I need compile libtheora and libvorbis by clang asan and use encoder_example of libtheora to reproduce this vul.

The cmdline to reproduce this vul is like this : ./encoder_example crash_sample xxx.y4m -o out.ogv

The binary encoder_example belongs to libtheora.
