How about quoting code instead of expecting me to guess?

How about quoting code instead of expecting me > to guess? Taking my cues from your patch, I looked at v4.0.2. Below is the extract from t2p_process_ojpeg_tables() which I referred to: 3159 t2p->t2p_error = T2P_ERR_ERROR; 3160 return(0); 3161 } 3162 if(!TIFFGetField(input, TIFFTAG_JPEGPOINTTRANSFORM, &pt)){ 3163 TIFFError(TIFF2PDF_MODULE, 3164 "Missing JPEGPointTransform field in OJPEG image %s", 3165 TIFFFileName(input)); 3166 t2p->t2p_error = T2P_ERR_ERROR; 3167 return(0); 3168 } 3169 } 3170 if(!TIFFGetField(input, TIFFTAG_YCBCRSUBSAMPLING, &h_samp, &v_samp)){ 3171 h_samp=1; 3172 v_samp=1; 3173 } 3174 if(t2p->pdf_ojpegdata != NULL){ 3175 _TIFFfree(t2p->pdf_ojpegdata); 3176 t2p->pdf_ojpegdata=NULL; 3177 } 3178 t2p->pdf_ojpegdata = _TIFFmalloc(2048); 3179 if(t2p->pdf_ojpegdata == NULL){ 3180 TIFFError(TIFF2PDF_MODULE, 3181 "Can't allocate %u bytes of memory for t2p_process_ojpeg_tables, %s", 3182 2048, 3183 TIFFFileName(input)); 3184 return(0); 3185 } Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tiff/+bug/1026438/comments/8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2012-07-19T15:48:30+00:00 Tom wrote: Yeah, you're right, that should set t2p_error --- and looking through the file, I found a similar oversight in t2p_write_pdf(). These cases do not have any security content though, because AFAICS nothing will crash if pdf_ojpegdata (or pdf_xrefoffsets in the other place) is left null. You might get a bogus additional error message, and/or failure to exit(1) as desired, but no worse. I've pushed those fixes into upstream CVS, so they will be in the next releases, but I don't think they should be considered part of the CVE issue.
