Description:
------------
In version 7.2.0 i get very many errors from exif_read_data().

To me it looks very unlikely that so many (but not all) of those .jpg files have corrupt exif data.
A few examples:

Kalle, could you have a look at this issue, please?

Hi, whenever I try to access the linked .jpg's, I get a WP login page, any chance you can share them in a non protected space or zip them all?

Thanks

Sorry, they are no longer there. Try https://betatest.opajaap.nl/wp-content/wppa-depot/opajaap/phpbug.zip this zip contains 5 of them.

FYI: Seems to be fixed in php 7.2.7

[2018-07-17 15:55 UTC] kalle@php.net

Thanks for the zip! I will try take a look if there is something obviously wrong in ext/exif.

Ps. I think the reason its fixed in newer versions is due to stas@ security fixes that could have flipped the coin and actually make them work.

I have the same issue since a few days.

Here is my PHP version :

PHP 7.2.7-2+0~20180714182401.1+jessie~1.gbp3fcba8 (cli) (built: Jul 15 2018 13:57:20) ( NTS )

It seems this issue is still present in PHP 7.2.11, e.g. with the sample image provided in this comment: https://github.com/gino0631/nextcloud-metadata/issues/19#issuecomment-414079570

exif_read_data does not read all EXIF information in certain JPEG files.

Sample JPG here, that has the problem:
https://www.tornado.se/piwigo/tools/sample.jpg

Using exif_read_data produces the following output of 'sample.jpg':
https://www.tornado.se/piwigo/tools/metadata.php

I.e. it is not complete (using print_r and var_dump). The apache server produces the followong errors in error_log:

Using exif_read_data seems to 'cut' up to a certain point of the EXIF header. Specifically I want to extract the DateTimeOriginal value, but php 7.2.11 isn't able to find the value. Using jhead or exiftool fully decodes all the EXIF headers.

Same issue using 7.2.14 on CentOS 7.  Code and images work fine with PHP 5.4.16 but with PHP 7.2.14 exif text output is truncated so can't get GPS data. Can't extract thumbnails with exif_thumbnail().  These things are critical for my application and will delay moving to PHP 7.  EXEC exiftool is slow.   FYI, the vote system here gets an HTTP 500 error and fails.

exif_thumbnail() fails with PHP 7.2.20 on CentOS 7. Works fine with same images with PHP 5.6.40.

Hello! I hope I'm not too late for the party.

I just sent a Pull Request (https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/5849) solving the above mentioned issues (maximum nesting level and illegal ifd size). They relate to endianness on different camera models from the same manufacturer.

I would be glad to receive some guidance on adding test cases for this fix.
Cheers!
