This document describes the changes made to the software between the previous and current versions (see above). If you don’t find something listed here, then it was not done in this timeframe, or it was not considered important enough to be mentioned. The following information is located here:

## Major changes

- None

## Software configuration changes

- Updated to use Automake 1.15 and Libtool 2.4.5

## Library changes

- `TIFFCheckDirOffset()`: avoid `uint16` overflow when reading more than 65535 directories, and effectively error out when reaching 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`. (MapTools bugzilla #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 MapTools bugzilla #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 extended 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. (MapTools bugzilla #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()` (MapTools bugzilla #2459)

- `TIFFReadBufferSetup()`: avoid passing -1 size to `TIFFmalloc()` if passed user buffer size is 0 (MapTools bugzilla #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 (MapTools bugzilla #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. (MapTools bugzilla #2427)

- Fix `TIFFPrintDirectory()` 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.

## Tools changes

- tiff2pdf Fix various crashes and memory buffer access errors (oCERT-2014-013).

- tiff2pdf fix buffer overflow on some YCbCr JPEG compressed images. (MapTools bugzilla #2445)

- tiff2pdf fix buffer overflow on YCbCr JPEG compressed image. (MapTools bugzilla #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

- tiffcp fix crash when converting YCbCr JPEG-compressed to none. (MapTools bugzilla #2480)

- bmp2tiff fix crash due to int overflow related to input BMP dimensions

- tiffcrop fix crash due to invalid `TileWidth`/`TileHeight`

- fax2ps check `malloc()`/`realloc()` result. (MapTools bugzilla #2470)

- gif2tiff apply patch for CVE-2013-4243. (MapTools bugzilla #2451)

- gif2tiff fix possible OOB write. (MapTools bugzilla #2452, CVE-2013-4244)

- 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.

    (MapTools bugzilla #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

## Contributed software changes

- 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.
