This extends the fix in 6709e4a0cf to
include binary PPM/PGM files, thus preventing a malformed binary
PPM/PGM input file from triggering an overrun of the rescale array and
potentially crashing cjpeg.
Note that this issue affected only cjpeg and not the underlying
libjpeg-turbo libraries, and thus it did not represent a security
threat.
Thanks to @hughdavenport for the discovery.
The convention used by libjpeg:
type * variable;
is not very common anymore, because it looks too much like
multiplication. Some (particularly C++ programmers) prefer to tuck the
pointer symbol against the type:
type* variable;
to emphasize that a pointer to a type is effectively a new type.
However, this can also be confusing, since defining multiple variables
on the same line would not work properly:
type* variable1, variable2; /* Only variable1 is actually a
pointer. */
This commit reformats the entirety of the libjpeg-turbo code base so
that it uses the same code formatting convention for pointers that the
TurboJPEG API code uses:
type *variable1, *variable2;
This seems to be the most common convention among C programmers, and
it is the convention used by other codec libraries, such as libpng and
libtiff.
These days, INT32 is a commonly-defined datatype in system headers. We
cannot eliminate the definition of that datatype from jmorecfg.h, since
the INT32 typedef has technically been part of the libjpeg API since
version 5 (1994.) However, using INT32 internally is risky, because the
inclusion of a particular header (Xmd.h, for instance) could change the
definition of INT32 from long to int on 64-bit platforms and thus change
the internal behavior of libjpeg-turbo in unexpected ways (for instance,
failing to correctly set __INT32_IS_ACTUALLY_LONG to match the INT32
typedef-- perhaps as a result of including the wrong version of
jpeglib.h-- could cause libjpeg-turbo to produce incorrect results.)
The library has always been built in environments in which INT32 is
effectively long (on Windows, long is always 32-bit, so effectively it's
the same as int), so it makes sense to turn INT32 into an explicitly
long datatype. This ensures that libjpeg-turbo will always behave
consistently, regardless of the headers included at compile time.
Addresses a concern expressed in #26.
The IJG README file has been renamed to README.ijg, in order to avoid
confusion (many people were assuming that that was our project's README
file and weren't reading README-turbo.txt) and to lay the groundwork for
markdown versions of the libjpeg-turbo README and build instructions.
