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.

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.

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)
