Description

When trying to access the focal length in an image I get a segfault in value.hpp:1689.

I attached a minimal test program. The image that triggers this can be found in [0] (part0.jpg).

I am using libexiv2 version 0.23 from Debian sid.

Thanks for reporting this and my sincere apologies for not having previously noticed this issue. We are approaching our v0.25 release and I'm working through Redmine and discovered this near the bottom of the pond.

And thank you for providing the sample code and the test image as a url on darktable's web site. v0.25 can read/write metadata over http (and other protocols). There is a fault in the test file (your trouble) and we should not be crashing under any circumstances (our trouble). Here's the evidence:

725 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $ exiv2 -pv -g Focal http://darktable.org/redmine/attachments/download/251/part0.jpg
Error: Upper boundary of data for directory Photo, entry 0x920a is out of bounds: Offset = 0x000003dc, size = 8, exceeds buffer size by 6 Bytes; truncating the entry
0x920a Photo        FocalLength                 Rational    0   <---- Rational normally requires two values  
0xa405 Photo        FocalLengthIn35mmFilm       Short       1  82
726 rmills@rmillsmbp:~/gnu/exiv2/trunk $ 
You can see that an error was detected in your file and I believe that's part what is wrong. None-the-less, your toFloat() code segfaults and I will investigate this.

I agree that the image is broken. I don't even know how it was created. Unfortunately we as programmers can't control what people do with our programs so dealing with broken files can't be avoided I guess. Anyway, thanks for looking into this. And hearing of a new release is great news. :)

We had a team meeting on Sunday (April 26) and we have agreed v0.25 on May 17. I will be surprised if encounter a show-stopper.

The seg fault in toFloat() is puzzling. I encountered a similar issue in toLong this morning r3756. I'm going to put this crash on the "must fix" list for v0.25.

I'm pushing this one to Andreas who wrote this code. We're down inside templatized code and I'm not sure what's going on.

I think this has already been fixed.

I've copied the file https://redmine.darktable.org/attachments/download/251/part0.jpg to test/data/exiv2-bug855.jpg and updated the test suite.
