MAJOR CHANGES:

- None

CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:

- Updated to use Automake 1.15 and Libtool 2.4.5

CHANGES IN LIBTIFF:

- TIFFCheckDirOffset(): avoid uint16 overflow when reading more than 65535 directories, and effectively error out when eaching that limit.
- TIFFNumberOfDirectories(): generate error in case of directory count overflow.
- TIFFAdvanceDirectory(): If nextdir is found to be defective, then set it to zero before returning error in order to terminate processing of truncated TIFF.
- JPEG-in-TIFF: recognize SOF2, SOF9 and SOF10 markers to avoid emitting a warning. Fix for compatibility with mozjpeg library. Note: the default settings of mozjpeg will produce progressive scans, which is forbidden by the TechNote.
- JPEG-in-TIFF: Fix regression introduced in 3.9.3/4.0.0 that caused all tiles/strips to include quantization tables even when the jpegtablesmode had the JPEGTABLESMODE_QUANT bit set. Also add explicit removal of Huffman tables when jpegtablesmode has the JPEGTABLESMODE_HUFF bit set, which avoids Huffman tables to be emitted in the first tile/strip (only useful in update scenarios. create-only was fine)
- JPEG-in-TIFF: fix segfault in JPEGFixupTagsSubsampling() on corrupted image where tif->tif_dir.td_stripoffset == NULL. (#2471)
- NeXT codec: add new tests to check that we don't read outside of the compressed input stream buffer.
- NeXT codec: check that BitsPerSample = 2. Fixes #2487 (CVE-2014-8129)
- NeXT codec: in the "run mode", use tilewidth for tiled images instead of imagewidth to avoid crash
- tif_getimage.c: in OJPEG case, fix checks on strile width/height in the putcontig8bitYCbCr42tile, putcontig8bitYCbCr41tile and putcontig8bitYCbCr21tile cases.
- in TIFFDefaultDirectory(), reset any already existing extented tags installed by user code through the extender mechaninm before calling the extender callback (GDAL #5054)
- Fix warnings about unused parameters.
- Fix various typos in comments found by Debian lintian tool (GDAL #5756)
- tif_getimage.c: avoid divide by zero on invalid YCbCr subsampling. (#2235)
- tif_dirread.c: In EstimateStripByteCounts(), check return code of _TIFFFillStriles(). This solves crashing bug on corrupted images generated by afl.
- tif_read.c: fix several invalid comparisons of a uint64 value with <= 0 by casting it to int64 first. This solves crashing bug on corrupted images generated by afl.
- TIFFSetField(): refuse to set negative values for TIFFTAG_XRESOLUTION and TIFFTAG_YRESOLUTION that cause asserts when writing the directory
- TIFFReadDirectory(): refuse to read ColorMap or TransferFunction if BitsPerSample has not yet been read, otherwise reading it later will cause user code to crash if BitsPerSample > 1
- TIFFRGBAImageOK(): return FALSE if LOGLUV with SamplesPerPixel != 3, or if CIELAB with SamplesPerPixel != 3 or BitsPerSample != 8
- tif_config.vc.h: no longer use "#define snprintf _snprintf" with Visual Studio 2015 aka VC 14 aka MSVC 1900
- LZW codec: prevent potential null dereference of sp->dec_codetab in LZWPreDecode (#2459)
- TIFFReadBufferSetup(): avoid passing -1 size to TIFFmalloc() if passed user buffer size is 0 (#2459)
- TIFFReadDirEntryOutputErr(): Incorrect count for tag should be a warning rather than an error since errors terminate processing.
- tif_dirinfo.c (TIFFField) : Fix data type for TIFFTAG_GLOBALPARAMETERSIFD tag.
- Add definitions for TIFF/EP CFARepeatPatternDim and CFAPattern tags (#2457)
- tif_codec.c, tif_dirinfo.c: Enlarge some fixed-size buffers that weren't large enough, and eliminate substantially all uses of sprintf(buf, ...) in favor of using snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ...)
- configure.ac: Improve pkg-config static linking by adding -lm to Libs.private when needed.
- tif_write.c: tmsize_t related casting warning fixed for 64bit linux.
- tif_read.c: uint64/tmsize_t change for MSVC warnings. (#2427)
- Fix TIFFPrintDirectory's handling of field_passcount fields: it had the TIFF_VARIABLE and TIFF_VARIABLE2 cases backwards.
- PixarLog codec: Improve previous patch for CVE-2012-4447 (to enlarge tbuf for possible partial stride at end) so that overflow in the integer addition is detected.
- tif_{unix,vms,win32}.c (_TIFFmalloc): ANSI C does not require malloc() to return NULL pointer if requested allocation size is zero. Assure that _TIFFmalloc does.
- tif_zip.c: Avoid crash on NULL error messages.

CHANGES IN THE TOOLS:

- tiff2pdf: Fis various crashes and memory buffer access errors (oCERT-2014-013).
- tiff2pdf: fix buffer overflow on some YCbCr JPEG compressed images. (#2445)
- tiff2pdf: fix buffer overflow on YCbCr JPEG compressed image. (#2443)
- tiff2pdf: check return code of TIFFGetField() when reading TIFFTAG_SAMPLESPERPIXEL
- tiff2pdf: fix crash due to invalid tile count.
- tiff2pdf: Detect invalid settings of BitsPerSample/SamplesPerPixel for CIELAB / ITULAB
- tiff2pdf: Assure that memory size calculations for _TIFFmalloc() do not overflow the range of tmsize_t.
- tiff2pdf: Avoid crash when TIFFTAG_TRANSFERFUNCTION tag returns one channel, with the other two channels set to NULL.
- tiff2pdf: close PDF file. (#2479)
- tiff2pdf: Preserve input file directory order when pages are tagged with the same page number.
- tiff2pdf.c: terminate after failure of allocating ycbcr buffer (#2449 CVE-2013-4232)
- tiff2pdf: Rewrite JPEG marker parsing in t2p_process_jpeg_strip to be at least marginally competent. The approach is still fundamentally flawed, but at least now it won't stomp all over memory when given bogus input. Fixes CVE-2013-1960.
- tiffdump: Guard against arithmetic overflow when calculating allocation buffer sizes.
- tiffdump: fix crash due to overflow of entry count.
- tiffdump: Fix double-free bug.
- tiffdump: detect cycle in TIFF directory chaining. (#2463)
- tiffdump: avoid passing a NULL pointer to read() if seek() failed before. (#2459)
- tiff2bw: when Photometric=RGB, the utility only works if SamplesPerPixel = 3. Enforce that. (#2485, CVE-2014-8127)
- pal2rgb, thumbnail: fix crash by disabling TIFFTAG_INKNAMES copying. (#2484, CVE-2014-8127)
- thumbnail: fix out-of-buffer write. (#2489, CVE-2014-8128)
- thumbnail, tiffcmp: only read/write TIFFTAG_GROUP3OPTIONS or TIFFTAG_GROUP4OPTIONS if compression is COMPRESSION_CCITTFAX3 or COMPRESSION_CCITTFAX4. (#2493, CVE-2014-8128)
- tiffcp: fix crash when converting YCbCr JPEG-compressed to none. (#2480)
- bmp2tiff: fix crash due to int overflow related to input BMP dimensions
- tiffcrop: fix crash due to invalid TileWidth/TileHeight
- tiffcrop: fix segfault if bad value passed to -Z option ( #2459) and add missing va_end in dump_info
- thumbnail, tiffcrop: "fix" heap read over-run found with Valgrind and Address Sanitizer on test suite
- fax2ps: check malloc()/realloc() result. (#2470)
- gif2tiff: apply patch for CVE-2013-4243. (#2451)
- gif2tiff: fix possible OOB write. (#2452, CVE-2013-4244)
- gif2tiff: Be more careful about corrupt or hostile input files (#2450, CVE-2013-4231)
- tiff2rgba: fix usage message in that zip was wrongly described
- tiffinfo: Default various values fetched with TIFFGetField() to avoid being uninitialized.
- tiff2ps: Fix bug in auto rotate option code.
- ppm2tiff: avoid zero size buffer vulnerability (CVE-2012-4564). check the linebytes calculation too, get the max() calculation straight, avoid redundant error messages, check for malloc failure.
- tiffset: now supports a -u option to unset a tag. (#2419)
- Fix warnings about unused parameters.
- rgb2ycbcr, tiff2bw, tiff2pdf, tiff2ps, tiffcrop, tiffdither : Enlarge some fixed-size buffers that weren't large enough, and eliminate substantially all uses of sprintf(buf, ...) in favor of using snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ...), so as to protect against overflow of fixed-size buffers. This responds in particular to CVE-2013-1961 concerning overflow in tiff2pdf.c's t2p_write_pdf_page().
- html/man/tiff2ps.1.html, html/man/tiffcp.1.html, html/man/tiffdither.1.html, man/tiff2ps.1, man/tiffcp.1, man/tiffdither.1, tools/tiff2ps.c, tools/tiffcp.c, tools/tiffdither.c: Sync tool usage printouts and man pages with reality

CHANGES IN THE CONTRIB AREA:

- Fix warnings about variables set but not used.
- contrib/dbs/xtiff/xtiff.c: Enlarge some fixed-size buffers that weren't large enough, and eliminate substantially all uses of sprintf(buf, ...) in favor of using snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ...), so as to protect against overflow of fixed-size buffers.
