ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
OSX-11.4 and RHEL7

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
TIFF files that are larger than 1024000 bytes hrow an out-of-bound exception.
This may have been introduced in the patch at
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk16/commit/151b6f14025150a6976a97bdd6ac52a0e5a0f560#

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Used a large TIFF file 1.8 MB in size.
2. Try to read using ImageIO API (See source code for executable test case)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
#### output below ####
$ java /tmp/testImageIO.java
1 Standard BMP Image Reader
2 Standard JPEG Image Reader
3 Standard WBMP Image Reader
4 Standard GIF image reader
5 Standard TIFF image reader
6 Standard PNG image reader
--> Image file read successfully
ACTUAL -
#### output below with out-of-bounds exception ####
$ java /tmp/testImageIO.java
1 Standard BMP Image Reader
2 Standard JPEG Image Reader
3 Standard WBMP Image Reader
4 Standard GIF image reader
5 Standard TIFF image reader
6 Standard PNG image reader

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
"Disabling" the standard TIFF image reader and using the "jai-imageio-core-1.3.1.jar" on the classpath for tiff works. Please refer
