podofo: NULL pointer dereference in GraphicsStack::TGraphicsStackElement::~TGraphicsStackElement (graphicsstack.h)

["Agostino Sarubbo" <ago () gentoo org>]

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

A fuzz on it discovered a null pointer dereference. 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:
