My valgrind output actually points to:

==29868== Invalid read of size 1

==29868== by 0x401B25: main (testsprite.c:224)

And Map1to1() contains:

static Uint8 *Map1to1(SDL_Palette *src, SDL_Palette *dst, int *identical)
{
[...]
for ( i=0; incolors; ++i ) {
map[i] = SDL_FindColor(dst,
---> src->colors[i].r, src->colors[i].g, src->colors[i].b);
}
[...]
}

The issue is that src->colors[i] points to an invalid memory because src->ncolors is ridiculously large (131075) and is much larger than number of elements in src->colors[] array. The SDL_Pallete src comes unchanged from LoadSprite() in testsprite.c program:

int LoadSprite(char *file)
{
[...]
sprite = SDL_LoadBMP(file);
[...]
}

as sprite->format->palette:

(gdb) p sprite->format->palette->ncolors
$20 = 131075
(gdb) p sprite->format->palette->colors[131075-1]
Cannot access memory at address 0x4887f8

This I conclude that SDL_LoadBMP() misparses the crafted BMP file. It's not an issue in SDL video system at all.

The reproducer has these data in BITMAPINFOHEADER:

biSize = 40
biBitCount = 8
biClrUsed = 131075

SDL_LoadBMP_RW() function passes biBitCount as a color depth to SDL_CreateRGBSurface(), thus 256-color pallete is allocated. But then biClrUsed colors are read from a file and stored into the palette. SDL_LoadBMP_RW should report an error if biClrUsed is greater than 2^biBitCount.
