NVD Description

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

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.
