NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libraw package and not the libraw package as distributed by Debian.

An error within the "LibRaw::parse_exif()" function (internal/dcraw_common.cpp) in LibRaw versions prior to 0.18.9 can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow and subsequently execute arbitrary code.
