A while ago I was surprised to learn that MS Internet Explorer had team of about 10 developers (I expected more) when MS already had more than 50000 employees total. Now knowing a bit more how sausages are made I would not be surprised to learn that this particular image decoder was maintained in Apple by a couple developers. To some extent this can be seen in corporations too: https://xkcd.com/2347/ https://xkcd.com/2347/
- saagarjha 3y agoThis decoder is actually maintained by Google.
- jonhohle 3y agoIf that. This weekend I ran into a TIFF decoding issue (Canon scanner produces TIFFs with embedded JPEG compression with different parameters than the outer TIFF container). This is an issue with libtiff and affects any Mac or iOS app using CoreGraphics, anything using ImagMagick, etc. GIMP, Nikon NX Viewer, and others with their own TIFF implementations are unaffected. I doubt anyone at Apple cares. If a CVE is filed for libtiff, they’ll rebase, but I doubt they are actively fuzzing it or even have regression tests for it.
