NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dcraw package and not the dcraw package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

A boundary error within the "quicktake_100_load_raw()" function (internal/dcraw_common.cpp) in LibRaw versions prior to 0.18.8 can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow and subsequently cause a crash.
