FA-78936 / Image orientation metadata / Open access

Orientation value zero passes through the parser · case 01

Files that write orientation 0 propagate an invalid tag to renderers.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The accepted range starts at 0, so the undefined value 0 is returned instead of the default 1.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Accept exactly 1..8 and map everything else to 1.

Unsuccessful approach: An exclusive upper bound discards the valid tag 8.

Case contract

Parse the orientation from an APP1 Exif payload given as a list of byte values: a 6-byte "Exif\0\0" header, then a TIFF header (II little-endian or MM big-endian, magic 42 as a 16-bit value, 32-bit IFD0 offset relative to the TIFF header). Scan IFD0 12-byte entries; the first entry with tag 0x0112, type SHORT (3) and count 1 supplies the value from the first two bytes of its value field. Values outside 1..8 and a missing entry yield 1; structural problems (short payload, bad header, byte order, magic, truncated entry) yield "malformed".

Why this case matters

Camera, phone and scanner images carry an orientation hint separately from the stored pixels; galleries, thumbnailers, editors and upload pipelines must interpret it consistently or photos appear sideways, mirrored or doubly rotated.

Verification & scope

A deterministic bounded teaching model with a stipulated contract; it makes no claim of conformance to any published specification. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
