Subject: [PATCH] tiff2pdf: Fix CVE-2017-9935

Fix for http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2704

This vulnerability - at least for the supplied test case - is because we
assume that a tiff will only have one transfer function that is the same
for all pages. This is not required by the TIFF standards.

We than read the transfer function for every page.  Depending on the
transfer function, we allocate either 2 or 4 bytes to the XREF buffer.
We allocate this memory after we read in the transfer function for the
page.

For the first exploit - POC1, this file has 3 pages. For the first page
we allocate 2 extra extra XREF entries. Then for the next page 2 more
entries. Then for the last page the transfer function changes and we
allocate 4 more entries.

When we read the file into memory, we assume we have 4 bytes extra for
each and every page (as per the last transfer function we read). Which
is not correct, we only have 2 bytes extra for the first 2 pages. As a
result, we end up writing past the end of the buffer.

There are also some related issues that this also fixes. For example,
TIFFGetField can return uninitalized pointer values, and the logic to
detect a N=3 vs N=1 transfer function seemed rather strange.

It is also strange that we declare the transfer functions to be of type
float, when the standard says they are unsigned 16 bit values. This is
fixed in another patch.

This patch will check to ensure that the N value for every transfer
function is the same for every page. If this changes, we abort with an
error. In theory, we should perhaps check that the transfer function
itself is identical for every page, however we don't do that due to the
confusion of the type of the data in the transfer function.
