Subject: [FD] libheif v1.21.0 Null Pointer Dereference in
	std::vector<unsigned>::empty

During construction of a Track_Visual object, corrupted sequence metadata
can leave a std::vector<unsigned> uninitialized. When .empty() is called,
it attempts to dereference a null object.

*Root Cause:*

   -

   Missing input validation when constructing vectors from parsed boxes.

*Impact:*

   -

   Application crash (DoS).
   -

   Not exploitable for code execution.

*Evidence:*

==1174955==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV in std::vector<unsigned>::empty()
