#1064 closed defect (fixed)

TComPrediction may allocate undersized temp buffer

Description

In TComPrediction.cpp::initTempBuff(), the temp array is created with the global variables indicating max CU size. However if an new SPS comes in the sequence that specifies a larger max CU size, the buffer is not re-created and memory outside the arrays can be accessed.
The attached patch fixes the issue by allocating the maximum possible size, regardless of globals.

The alternative would be to re-allocate the memory when a new SPS is activated. But I guess, in this case it would be fine to just use the maximum allowed values. The amount of memory that can be saved for smaller max CU size should be negligible (especially when frequent reallocation causes memory fragmentation).

I will apply the patch if nobody disagrees.
