Description:
------------
On encountering a binary string in exif data (e.g. makernote) exif_read_data () terminates reading, returns the exif tags successfully read and issues a warning about unreadable data. This does not occur in php <= 5.6.16, where the full set of exif tags is returned without warning. This bug may be related to Bug #72819 EXIF thumbnails not read anymore.

Test script:
---------------
exif_read_data ("img_0001.jpg");

Expected result:
----------------
All exif tags returned without error.

Actual result:
--------------
Only exif tags prior to "makernote" (which is a binary string) are returned and a warning issued.

I can confirm that this bug has been fixed by recent patches to the EXIF extension! I added a test case for this to php-src:

Sorry, I am still getting the exact same error message on PHP 7.0.21.

That is true, these changes are currently only in the 7.2 branch, I'm not sure if these changes can all be safely ported to 5.6/7.0/7.1 as there have been many changes to the exif extension recently. I will try to investigate further
