#1882 closed defect (fixed)

Geotiff photometric minimum is white

Description

I tried to open a GEOTIFF file where the TIFFTAG_PHOTOMETRIC has been set to PHOTOMETRIC_MINISWHITE. It causes a segmentation fault (floating point exception). The problem occurs on line 2894 of the frmts/gtiff/geotiff.cpp file; here you try to build an inverse color pallette.

nColorCount = 1 << nBitsPerSample; nBitsPersample is 32 in my case ... for ( iColor = 0; iColor < nColorCount; iColor++ ) {

oEntry.c1 = oEntry.c2 = oEntry.c3 =

(255 * (nColorCount - 1 - iColor)) / (nColorCount-1);

oEntry.c4 = 255; poColorTable->SetColorEntry( iColor, &oEntry );

}

'nColorCount' results to 1, resulting in a floating point exception since you are dividing by 0.

In attachment you can find the geotiff file I've used.

This bug still exists with GDAL trunk. I've commited in trunk in r12294 the following patch that checks that nBitsPerSample is 8 or 16 before creating a colormap. So in the case exhibited here, where the type is GDT_Float32, no colormap is created. But we don't handle the PHOTOMETRIC_MINISWHITE indication. I don't know how we could handle this situation without changing the values of the data...

Frank, do you think it should be backported to 1.4 branch ?

Smaller test case added to autotest in r12295

Milestone: 1.5.0

Should we consider the fix commited in r12294 as enough to close the bug ?

Even,

I have modified the test a bit so that odd numbers of bits (4/12, etc) will also get color tables. With this minor adjustment I think things are fine. The situation is pretty esoteric, so I'm not going to back port into 1.4 branch.

I neglected to mention my adjustment is r12777.
