Subject: CVE-2017-7594: libtiff: Direct leak in tif_ojpeg.c

http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2659 :

In tif_ojpeg.c, in OJPEGReadHeaderInfoSecTablesDcTable, we have
rb=_TIFFmalloc(ra). After, values for rb are filled out. Then there is an if
(p!=q) return 0, which goes before the line sp->dctable[m]=rb;

Therefore, clearly rb is leaking every time the if (p!=q) is entered, since
memory is allocated but it is not even assigned anywhere. Our fix:
