Comment (by stevegs):

 The strange thing about this is only **some** EXIF files cause the
 problem, but it seems no JFIF file does so.

 I've generally found PHP8 is a lot more strict (especially regarding
 typedefs or unexpected nulls) than its predecessor, having found many
 similar errors in some plugins (resolved by updating, re-writing or
 deleting).  Hope this has been helpful.
