I'm not very familiar with the s/w decoding code paths. I believe this part
of the code came from gstreamer so it might be useful to see what (if
anything) they've done to deal with Oreo.
If this breaks Nougat then obviously it cannot be committed as-is.
IIRC slice_height is supposed to return the size of the buffer so I'm
pretty sure the correct thing to do here is to continue using slice_height.
It's possible that adding the crop values on top is what's causing the
buffer overflow- maybe those weren't set before Oreo?
