This POC BMP image has invalid number of colors (biClrUsed=3, biBitCount=0). In my case this results into invalid write when parsing the BMP file:

==7124== by 0x401B25: main (testsprite.c:224)

In case of the original report, SDL_GetRGB() function reads from
fmt->palette->colors[] array that is badly allocated because of the invalid number of colors.

A fix for this issue is covered by patch for bug # 4500.
