for decode_intra the loop reads from mgb look like this:

    for (int y = 0; y < avctx->height; y += 16) {
...
        for (int x = 0; x < avctx->width; x += 16) {
...
            for (int b = 0; b < 6; b++) {
                int mode = get_bits_le(&mgb, 2);
...
            }
        }

the only way to escape this loop is through error exit
so 2*6* number of 16x16 blocks is read unconditionally
and its read from a place that has s->mode_size * 8 bits
alternatively get_bits_left() can be used


for decode inter:
there is this at the begin
    mask = *gb;
    skip_bits_long(gb, mask_size * 8);
    mgb = *gb;
    skip_bits_long(gb, s->mode_size * 8);

so we have at minimum (mask_size + s->mode_size) * 8 bits

It does seem reasonable to me to check the input to contain enough bits
for what is consumed
If it breaks some real files, i very much would like to know what these
files are doing

what do you mean by "whole fuzzing idea" ?

thx
