Description

An error within the "kodak_radc_load_raw()" function (internal/dcraw_common.cpp) related to the "buf" variable in LibRaw versions prior to 0.18.7 can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds read memory access and subsequently cause a crash.
An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way LibRaw processed images. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash applications using LibRaw by tricking them into processing crafted images.
