Descriptions

An error within the "LibRaw::xtrans_interpolate()" function (internal/dcraw_common.cpp) in LibRaw versions prior to 0.18.6 can be exploited to cause an invalid read memory access and subsequently a Denial of Service condition.

Un error en la función "LibRaw::xtrans_interpolate()" (internal/dcraw_common.cpp) en LibRaw en versiones anteriores a la 0.18.6 se puede explotar para provocar un acceso de lectura a la memoria inválido y una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS).

It was discovered that LibRaw incorrectly handled photo files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted photo file, a remote attacker could cause applications linked against LibRaw to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
