Heap-buffer-overflow in b2frame parsing #738

Description

Describe

A crafted b2frame input can trigger a heap-buffer-overflow while parsing/decompressing with c-blosc2.

I have a detailed root-cause analysis, AddressSanitizer log, and a reproducer input. Since this is a memory-safety issue, I would prefer to share the full technical details and the crashing input privately first.

Could you please let me know the preferred private reporting channel for this project?
If email is preferred, I can send the full report to blosc@blosc.org or to any other address you recommend.

Compiler: clang with AddressSanitizer
Version: c-blosc2 reports 2.22.1.dev ($Date:: 2025-10-28 )
