This file is identical in pixel dimensions to one that caused the bug earlier. It is 1-bit with a size of 10332px x 4148px. It is LZW compressed and contains an entirely white image.
*Opening this file with Image Viewer (eog) doesn't trigger the bug* with the resources available on my system now, though it takes a bit of time to appear and requires over 1GB of memory. I will load up more software and see if that affects the outcome, and I will try the one of the files that did trigger it earlier at the current system usage level (I cannot upload that as it's a private scan from a book and sharing it would violate copyright). ** Attachment added: "Sample LZW compressed 1-bit TIFF" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/1828720/+attachment/5263279/+files/1bit-test-compressed.tiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828720 Title: eog (Ubuntu image viewer) consumes all memory when opening a tiff file Status in eog package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The ImageViewer app (/usr/bin/eog) will go into a loop if a TIFF files are opened. Any TIFF file can cause a loop even if less than 1MB in size, so it seems that the program is encountering an internal issue with the TIFF format. The loop quickly consumes all free memory and locks up the machine (I do not have any swap). Steps to reproduce: * open any TIFF file using ImageViewer, the default image file handler.
