[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#558733: [libgdal1-1.6.0] Reading tiff file causes segfault when linked also with geotiff

[Emmanuel Christophe]

Package: libgdal1-1.6.0

Version: 1.6.2-1

Severity: important


--- Please enter the report below this line. ---


When a program is linked to geotiff and gdal, a segfault appear when
reading tiff files

This seems related to the use of the
with-hide-internal-symbols
during compilation of the gdal included in the debian package.

To reproduce the bug:

Create file gdalHideSymbols.cxx with

#include "gdal.h"
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
 GDALAllRegister();
 GDALOpen(argv[1], GA_ReadOnly );
}

$ gcc -c gdalHideSymbols.cxx -I/usr/include/gdal
$ gcc gdalHideSymbols.o -lgeotiff -lgdal1.6.0 -o gdalHideSymbols-gtiffgdal
$ gcc gdalHideSymbols.o -lgdal1.6.0 -lgeotiff -o gdalHideSymbols-gdalgtiff
$ ./gdalHideSymbols-gtiffgdal ROI_QB_MUL_4.tif
Segmentation fault
$ ./gdalHideSymbols-gdalgtiff ROI_QB_MUL_4.tif
Ok

Both cases are working correctly with the gdal1.5.0 debian package

It occurs with all tif file tested but here is one tif file that shows the bug:
