[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1039) Raw image file detected as audio/mpeg

["Nick Burch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1039?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13570390#comment-13570390 ] 

Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1039:
----------------------------------

I'm not sure there's much that we can do about this, as the starting "magic" for MP3 files are a little generic. It's possible we could try to add a second check for another frame header of a similar type (VBR means the first two frame headers may differ) within a frame's size distance, but the mime magic checking for that would be pretty icky given the current structure. http://www.mars.org/pipermail/mad-dev/2002-January/000425.html indicates how many bytes an audio frame could be (ID3 frames can be much much larger, and one of those could be the first)

> A raw image file that starts with a long sequence of FFFF.... is recognised as audio/mpeg.
> The problem is that the raw file does not have a magic number itself and the FF...-pixeldata is wrongly interpreted as an mpeg file. The bug seems to be a general problem, because other image data could be misinterpreted as other magic numbers.
