mpf_ops_parse_header() reads several fields from the bitstream file
and uses them as offsets and sizes without validating them against the
buffer size, leading to multiple out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities:

1. When header_size (u8 from file) is 0, the expression
   *(buf + header_size - 1) reads one byte before the buffer.

2. In the block lookup loop, block_id_offset and block_start_offset
   advance by MPF_LOOKUP_TABLE_RECORD_SIZE (9) each iteration with
   blocks_num (u8) controlling the count. With a small buffer, these
   offsets exceed count, causing OOB reads via get_unaligned_le32().

3. components_size_start (from file) and component_size_byte_num
   (derived from components_num, u16 from file) are used as offsets
   into buf without validation, allowing arbitrary OOB reads.

Add bounds checks for all three cases: reject header_size of 0,
validate offsets in the block lookup loop, and validate the component
size read offset.
