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.

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.
