Damjan Jovanovic commented on SANSELAN-17:
------------------------------------------

EXIF was changed to silently ignore bad tags when not in strict mode - 
exceptions are only thrown in strict mode. It seems like a good idea to add 
this for IPTC as well.

That image has multiple APP13 segments. Even if we break instead of throw when 
the invalid block size happens, there is another exception later because 
Sanselan doesn't handle multiple APP13 segments. Even if only the first segment 
is returned there, it has no useful data.

On the other hand, there is some debate 
(http://dev.robotbattle.com/bugs/view.php?id=533 and 
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/exiv2/message/1382) as to whether files with 
multiple APP13 segments are valid, because supposedly the APP13 segments can be 
joined together in some cases. Maybe when joined together than now invalid 
length of 86622 becomes valid?

> This function can throw an Exception in ByteSourceArray.java due to a 
> negative byte[] allocation size. The length argument has been found to wrap 
> when called from IccProfileParser.java.
> In 64bit machines, issues related to incorrect metadata, or ICC data can lead 
> to incorrect and excess memory allocations. These large numbers however cause 
> 32bit negative signed values.
