GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 301297
Crash when loading JPG file with special EXIF header
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:52:37 UTC
Distribution/Version: Win2000 sp4, WinXP sp2 Just try to load file http://koresha.org/master/tmp/DSCF0761.JPG to GIMP. jpeg.exe crashes with 'memory could not be written' error. Tracing show that error occur in libexif-12.dll, called by jpeg.exe.
Looking for duplicates before filing a bug report would have been asked too much, wouldn't it? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 300186 ***
Using a libexif 0.6.12 that doesn't rigger bug 300186, there are sill a lot messages like "Corrupt JPEG data: found marker 0xd9 instead of RSTx" with x in 0..7. The image isn't loaded completely, too.
The above url is no longer accessible, so nobody else can look at the file right now. This is one big reason why such things should be handled as an attachment to the bug.
