Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU12526
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10528
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the X3F parser due to a stack-based buffer overflow condition in the utf2char function, as defined in the libraw_cxx.cpp file. A local attacker can execute a specially crafted file and cause the service to crash.
Update the affected package libraw to version 0.18.10-1.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU12525
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10529
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the X3F parser due to an out-of-bounds read condition in the X3F property table list implementation in the libraw_x3f.cpp and libraw_cxx.cppfiles. A local attacker can execute a specially crafted file and cause the service to crash.
Update the affected package libraw to version 0.18.10-1.

3) Infinite loop
EUVDB-ID: #VU16353
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5813
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition.
The vulnerability exists due to due to improper parsing of files by the parse_minolta() function, as defined in the dcraw.c source code file of the affected software. A remote attacker can send trick the victim into accessing a file that submits malicious input, trigger an infinite loop condition that causes the affected software to crash or become unresponsive.
MitigationUpdate the affected package libraw to version 0.18.10-1.
