Description Josh Bressers 2011-08-24 20:03:27 UTC
QT contains a buffer overflow on greyscale images with multiple samples per
pixel.

From the upstream commit:
https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/cb6380beb81ab9571c547270c144988781fed465

fix tiff reader to handle TIFFTAG_SAMPLESPERPIXEL for grayscale images

This commit fixes reading a .tiff file from ImageMagick which reports
the following:
TIFFTAG_BITSPERSAMPLE = 8
TIFFTAG_SAMPLESPERPIXEL = 2
TIFFTAG_PHOTOMETRIC = PHOTOMETRIC_MINISBLACK
The reader uses QImage::Format_Indexed8, but since the samples per pixel
value this should be (non-existent) QImage::Format_Indexed16, causing
memory corruption. The fix falls back to the "normal" way of reading
tiff images.
