-Subject: [PATCH] Fix various crasher bugs on fuzzed images. *
- libtiff/tif_dir.c: TIFFSetField(): refuse to set negative values for
- TIFFTAG_XRESOLUTION and TIFFTAG_YRESOLUTION that cause asserts when writing
- the directory * libtiff/tif_dirread.c: 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
- * libtiff/tif_getimage.c: TIFFRGBAImageOK(): return FALSE if LOGLUV with
- SamplesPerPixel != 3, or if CIELAB with SamplesPerPixel != 3 or BitsPerSample
- != 8 * libtiff/tif_next.c: in the "run mode", use tilewidth for tiled images
- instead of imagewidth to avoid crash * tools/bmp2tiff.c: fix crash due to int
- overflow related to input BMP dimensions * tools/tiff2pdf.c: fix crash due to
- invalid tile count (should likely be checked by libtiff too). Detect invalid
- settings of BitsPerSample/SamplesPerPixel for CIELAB / ITULAB *
- tools/tiffcrop.c: fix crash due to invalid TileWidth/TileHeight *
- tools/tiffdump.c: fix crash due to overflow of entry count.
