After updating libexif and Gimp, I found that Gimp would no longer load JPEG images taken with my digital camera (Sony DSC-V1). Gimp allows a preview but on loading the plugin fails with the following message: Opening '/home/william/dsc02366.jpg' failed: Plug-In could not open image JPEG images from other sources load fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update libexif to version 0.6.12 (I realize this is currently ~x86) 2. Possibly re-emerge Gimp 3. Open an exif formatted image with Gimp (only tested from Sony DSC-V1) Actual Results: Opening 'filename' failed: Plug-In could not open image Expected Results: Gimp should have opened the image just as it does any other jpeg I tested with both Gimp versions 2.2.0 and 2.2.3: with the libexif version 0.6.12 the problem occurs. When the old libexif =0.5.12-r12 is emerged, (and Gimp needs to be re-emerged as well), Gimp loads the exif jpeg images as it should. I have an x86 system. Other image applications that I tested were not affected, such as Eye of Gnome.
I can confirm this bug. Exact same symptoms and fix. Gimp 2.2.3. Emerge libexif-0.5.12-r2 and re-emerge gimp.
I'm running a ~amd64 system, I have libexif-0.6.12-r2 installed and I exhibit the exact same symptoms as the other two even with the updated libexif.

I'm sorry, I misread the posts, when reverting to 0.5.12-r2 the problem goes away. Thanks.
Using libexif-0.6.12-r2 on x86. Has exactly the same problem. It does not load pictures from a digital camera, a Canon G6 user here. Regular jpegs work fine.
I reemerged 0.6.10-r1 and it works fine. Maybe you guys can give it a try.

This bug is in libexif MakerNote handling, at least on images generated with my Nikon D70. in exif-data.c line 779 there is a switch statement, if you comment it out and rebuild - libexif will no longer parse the makernote and gimp loads images fine with libexif-0.6.12. now this is a hack, not a fix. I have reproduced the bug using the exif command line tool available from libexif.sf.net and the --show-mnote cmd line switch. Using the switch (with vanilla libexif) causes segfault, leaving it out parses the other exif data just fine. It appears that ExifMnoteDataOlympus->methods.free get's corrupted, causing the segfault once the functionpointer is attempted to be executed, but I can't figure out exactly how it's getting overwritten...
I have the same problem here. Upgraded to libexif 1.6.12-r2 some time ago and ever since that many graphical apps stopped working. For example digikam and showfoto and GIMP are one of those. I have since then rebuilt all of them but it doesn't help. It only helps to go back to an older version of libexif. I have AMD Athlon 64 and all is compiled in 64-bits for AMD64.

This is fixed for me by applying revision 1.68 of libexif/exif-data.c http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/libexif/libexif/libexif/exif-data.c?r1=1.67&r2=1.68&sortby=date&diff_format=u
Confirmed, patch in Comment #9 fixes the issue. There's your corruption, Malcolm.
maybe if we assign it to the right ppl it gets some work ;)
fixed in portage, thanks.
