Description:

This update for tiff fixes the following issues:

  • Updating TIFFMergeFieldInfo() with read_count=write_count=0 for FIELD_IGNORE. Updating TIFFMergeFieldInfo() with read_count=write_count=0 for FIELD_IGNORE. Improving handling when field_name = NULL. (fixes issue #532)
  • tiff.h: add COMPRESSION_JXL_DNG_1_7=52546 as used for JPEGXL compression in the DNG 1.7 specification
  • TIFFWriteDirectorySec: Increment string length for ASCII tags for codec tags defined with FIELD_xxx bits, as it is done for FIELD_CUSTOM tags. (fixes issue #648)
  • Do not error out on a tag whose tag count value is zero, just issue a warning. Fix parsing a private tag 0x80a6 (fixes issue #647)
  • TIFFDefaultTransferFunction(): give up beyond td_bitspersample = 24 Fixes https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/10875)
  • tif_getimage.c: Remove unnecessary calls to TIFFRGBAImageOK() (fixes issue #175)
  • Fix writing a Predictor=3 file with non-native endianness
  • _TIFFVSetField(): fix potential use of unallocated memory (out-of-bounds
  • read / nullptr dereference) in case of out-of-memory situation when dealing with custom tags (fixes issue #663)
  • tif_fax3.c: Error out for CCITT fax encoding if SamplesPerPixel is not equal 1 and PlanarConfiguration = Contiguous (fixes issue #26)
  • tif_fax3.c: error out after a number of times end-of-line or unexpected bad code words have been reached. (fixes issue #670)
  • Fix memory leak in TIFFSetupStrips() (fixes issue #665)
  • tif_zip.c: Provide zlib allocation functions. Otherwise for zlib built with -DZ_SOLO inflating will fail.
  • Fix memory leak in _TIFFSetDefaultCompressionState. (fixes issue #676)
  • tif_predict.c: Don’t overwrite input buffer of TIFFWriteScanline() if "prediction" is enabled. Use extra working buffer in PredictorEncodeRow(). (fixes issue #5)
  • tif_getimage.c: update some integer overflow checks (fixes issue #79)
  • tif_getimage.c: Fix buffer underflow crash for less raster rows at TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented() (fixes issue #704, bsc#1250413, CVE-2025-9900)
  • TIFFReadRGBAImage(): several fixes to avoid buffer overflows.
  • Correct passing arguments to TIFFCvtIEEEFloatToNative() and TIFFCvtIEEEDoubleToNative() if HAVE_IEEEFP is not defined. (fixes issue #699)
  • LZWDecode(): avoid nullptr dereference when trying to read again after EOI marker has been found with remaining output bytes (fixes issue #698)
  • TIFFSetSubDirectory(): check _TIFFCheckDirNumberAndOffset() return.
  • TIFFUnlinkDirectory() and TIFFWriteDirectorySec(): clear tif_rawcp when clearing tif_rawdata (fixes issue #711)
  • JPEGEncodeRaw(): error out if a previous scanline failed to be written, to avoid out-of-bounds access (fixes issue #714)
  • tif_jpeg: Fix bug in JPEGDecodeRaw() if JPEG_LIB_MK1_OR_12BIT is defined for 8/12bit dual mode, introduced in libjpeg-turbo 2.2, which was actually released as 3.0. Fixes issue #717
  • add assert for TIFFReadCustomDirectory infoarray check.
  • ppm2tiff: Fix bug in pack_words trailing bytes, where last two bytes of each line were written wrongly. (fixes issue #467)
  • fax2ps: fix regression of commit 28c38d648b64a66c3218778c4745225fe3e3a06d where TIFFTAG_FAXFILLFUNC is being used rather than an output buffer (fixes issue #649)
  • tiff2pdf: Check TIFFTAG_TILELENGTH and TIFFTAGTILEWIDTH (fixes issue #650)
  • tiff2pdf: check h_samp and v_samp for range 1 to 4 to avoid division by zero. Fixes issue #654
  • tiff2pdf: avoid null pointer dereference. (fixes issue #741)
