Sanselan can be made to crash with an image with wrong data in EXIF header

                 Key: SANSELAN-39
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-39
             Project: Commons Sanselan
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jacobo Tarrio


Investigating a query of death, I found an image that had an EXIF tag that 
specified start=1342195485 and length=974913536.

When ByteSourceArray.getBlock(start,length) was called, it passed the test "if 
(start + length > bytes.length)", as start+length is a negative number. This 
caused the server to try to allocate a buffer 950 MB big and then save it in 
"bytes" starting at position 1.3G. This produces either a heap space exhaustion 
or an array out of bounds error.

The fix would consist of replacing the condition with one like the following:

if (start < 0 || length < 0 || start + length < 0 || start + length > 
bytes.length)
