Um ... no attachment here ...

Wouldn't be me if I hadn't forgotten to attach the file.

Comment 3 Tom Lane 2010-08-18 21:37:54 UTC
I've filed this upstream at http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2258

I'm not clear on what a reasonable fix would be, and am inclined to consider it low-priority, since TIFFPrintDirectory is probably not used in any security-critical contexts.

Comment 4 Martin Cermak 2010-11-02 08:11:48 UTC
Observed again [1], [2]. Can we make some conclusion about our test [3] behaviour at the moment?

propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Comment 24 Ales Zelinka 2015-10-21 08:02:45 UTC
I can no longer reproduce this on libtiff-3.9.4-10.el6_5 (current version). Both s390x and ppc64 work ok. This bug can IMO be closed.

Comment 25 Petr Hracek 2015-10-21 08:32:59 UTC
Thanks. Closing it with CLOSED->CURRENTRELEASE.

Feel free to reopen it in case of troubles.
