Description

I have two png images that opens fine with System.Drawing.Common, but that fails to open with ImageSharp, and instead throw an InvalidImageContentException: CRC Error. PNG IDAT chunk is corrupt! Both files can be viewed in windows.

Steps to Reproduce

Just point to the filePath with Image.Open(filePath) and it should throw the exception when running the code.

The IDAT is indeed corrupt.

We'll need to have a look at libpng to see if they have some special handling of this.

Libpng also "throws an exceptions":

This file, and the two above can be partially displayed by chrome, that uses libpng

[JimBobSquarePants]

Can they be opened by other imaging libraries? Chrome looks to have turned of the safety checks. (There’s a compiler option in libpng)

[svenclaesson]

MagicScalar uses libpng and can handle the last image that i posted

MagicScalar uses vcpkg precompiled version of libpng. What is the compiler option called can't seam to find it here?

[JimBobSquarePants]

Ah not a compiler option it seems. Look for png_set_crc_action

http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng-manual.txt

[svenclaesson]

So this explains why it works in MagicScalar then.

Would it be possible to consider this for ImageSharp?

[svenclaesson]

After further investigation into MagicScaler, it turns out that using default settings on windows will result in native WIC codecs being used. This png codec is forgiving. Instead when libpng is used with "codecs.UseLibpng()" no CRC error is thrown but the resulting image is all black. nevermind. this works as expected.

Any input?

[JimBobSquarePants]

This is precisely the kind of thing I designed ISpecializedDecoderOptions for. There's no reason we cannot define rules for handling Crc and Adler validation on decode.

Would you be interested in creating a PR?

[svenclaesson]

Tried it a bit but got stuck by the fact that IDAT and IEND is considered critical chunks and found no way of ignoring that fact if the file is truncated, IDAT is cut off and IEND is missing.

Maybe you have some pointers for me here PR not yet posted to here because it is work in progress still.

[JimBobSquarePants]

Sorry for the slow reply @svenclaesson I've been off the boil for the last few weeks with sickness.

If you actually open a PR I can commit directly to your fork to help finish it off.

@JimBobSquarePants What is the easiest way to make use of the new options? Ideally I would like to be able to pass something through via Image.Identify or Image.Load, but they only take a basic DecoderOptions.

Would it be reasonable to add overloads that take ISpecializedDecoderOptions since that already contains a DecoderOptions property? Or maybe some other concept of aggregated specialized decoder options?

Ideally, we'd add a general equivalent to DecoderOptions but we're stuck with the problem of what to choose... The specialized, or general version of the enum. Implementing it would require a breaking change to either remove or make nullable the specialized enum.

[Erik-White]

Just so I understand, you would like to add a new property to DecoderOptions, a new enum e.g. CrcChunkHandling. This could then be used in place of PngCrcChunkHandling, and maybe also in other decoders?

Maybe the new one could be added and mapped to the specialized enum to save a breaking change? If I get time I could make an attempt at that.
