The phase_one_correct function in Libraw before 0.17.1 allows attackers to cause memory errors and possibly execute arbitrary code, related to memory object initialization.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has LibRaw packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The phase_one_correct function in Libraw before 0.17.1 allows attackers to cause memory errors and     possibly execute arbitrary code, related to memory object initialization. (CVE-2015-8367)

  - The faster LJPEG decoder in libraw 0.13.x, 0.14.x, and 0.15.x before 0.15.4 allows context-dependent     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted photo file.
    (CVE-2013-1439)

  - Multiple double free vulnerabilities in the LibRaw::unpack function in libraw_cxx.cpp in LibRaw before     0.15.2 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly     execute arbitrary code via a malformed full-color (1) Foveon or (2) sRAW image file. (CVE-2013-2126)

  - Array index error in smal_decode_segment function in LibRaw before 0.17.1 allows context-dependent     attackers to cause memory errors and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to indexes.
    (CVE-2015-8366)

  - There is a floating point exception in the kodak_radc_load_raw function in dcraw_common.cpp in LibRaw     0.18.2. It will lead to a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2017-13735)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:1380-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-43962: Fixed out-of-bounds read when tag 0x412 processing in phase_one_correct function     (bsc#1241585)
    - CVE-2025-43964: Fixed tag 0x412 processing in phase_one_correct  does not enforce minimum w0 and w1     values (bsc#1241584)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The phase_one_correct function in Libraw before 0.17.1 allows attackers to cause memory errors and     possibly execute arbitrary code, related to memory object initialization. (CVE-2015-8367)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - Array index error in smal_decode_segment function in LibRaw before 0.17.1 allows context-dependent
    attackers to cause memory errors and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to indexes.
    (CVE-2015-8366)

  - The phase_one_correct function in Libraw before 0.17.1 allows attackers to cause memory errors and
    possibly execute arbitrary code, related to memory object initialization. (CVE-2015-8367)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3492-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibRaw incorrectly handled photo files. If a user or automated system were tricked     into processing a specially crafted photo file, a remote attacker could cause applications linked against     LibRaw to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This update for libraw fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2015-3885: A specially crafted raw image file could     have caused a Denial of Service through an integer     overflow. (bsc#930683)

  - CVE-2015-8367: The function phase_one_correct() did not     handle memory object initialization correctly, which may     have caused some other problems. (bsc#957517)

  - CVE-2017-6886: memory corruption in parse_tiff_ifd()     func (internal/dcraw_common.cpp) could lead to Denial of     service (bsc#1039380)

  - CVE-2017-6889: integer overflow error within the     'foveon_load_camf()' function (dcraw_foveon.c) could     lead to Denial of service (bsc#1039210)

  - CVE-2017-6890: boundary error within the     'foveon_load_camf()' function (dcraw_foveon.c)     (bsc#1039209)
