JPEG file with certain EXIF data causes nautilus to crash

[Fridtjof Busse]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When trying to view the properties of a large JPEG file (18 MB), nautilus crashes.
These are three seperate attempts to show the properties of a particular file (happens with other large JPEGs as well):

Could you please attach an example .jpeg, jpegs that large are not very common :)

[Fridtjof Busse (fbusse-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

OK, the problem seems to be EXIF rather than the size.
If I run
exiftool -all:all=
on the affected file, the properties open just fine.

[bbordwell (benbordwell)]

Well either way bad EXIF data should not crash nautilus. Could you please upload a picture that has the EXIF data that will crash nautilus so we can get this bug reproduced and sent upstream? Thank you.

[Fridtjof Busse (fbusse-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

I created a small picture that crashes nautilus on 10.10 x86_64 every time.

[bbordwell (benbordwell)]

Thanks for the example file. I can confirm this crash on my system.

Any news since? Any workaround possible? My client keeps complaining about this one ...

The issue was in exempi and seems to not exist anymore, closing
