NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libkdcraw-devel package and not the libkdcraw-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

An error within the "leaf_hdr_load_raw()" function (internal/dcraw_common.cpp) in LibRaw versions prior to 0.18.8 can be exploited to trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
