There is an integer overflow vulnerability in dcraw. When the victim runs dcraw with a maliciously crafted X3F input image, arbitrary code may be executed in the victim's system.

The version of dcraw installed on the remote host is prior to 9.19-6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-3017 advisory.

    There is an integer overflow vulnerability in dcraw. When the victim runs dcraw with a maliciously crafted     X3F input image, arbitrary code may be executed in the victim's system. (CVE-2021-3624)

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

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

The version of LibRaw installed on the remote host is prior to 0.19.4-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-3016 advisory.

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

  - There is an integer overflow vulnerability in dcraw. When the victim runs dcraw with a maliciously crafted     X3F input image, arbitrary code may be executed in the victim's system. (CVE-2021-3624)

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

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1277-1 advisory.

  - 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)

  - In LibRaw through 0.18.4, an out of bounds read flaw related to kodak_65000_load_raw has been reported in     dcraw/dcraw.c and internal/dcraw_common.cpp. An attacker could possibly exploit this flaw to disclose     potentially sensitive memory or cause an application crash. (CVE-2017-14608)

  - A buffer over-read in crop_masked_pixels in dcraw through 9.28 could be used by attackers able to supply     malicious files to crash an application that bundles the dcraw code or leak private information.
    (CVE-2018-19565)

  - A heap buffer over-read in parse_tiff_ifd in dcraw through 9.28 could be used by attackers able to supply     malicious files to crash an application that bundles the dcraw code or leak private information.
    (CVE-2018-19566)

  - A floating point exception in parse_tiff_ifd in dcraw through 9.28 could be used by attackers able to     supply malicious files to crash an application that bundles the dcraw code. (CVE-2018-19567)

  - A floating point exception in kodak_radc_load_raw in dcraw through 9.28 could be used by attackers able to     supply malicious files to crash an application that bundles the dcraw code. (CVE-2018-19568)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow in the find_green() function of dcraw through 9.28, as used in ufraw-batch     and many other products, may allow a remote attacker to cause a control-flow hijack, denial-of-service, or     unspecified other impact via a maliciously crafted raw photo file. (CVE-2018-19655)

  - An error within the LibRaw::unpack() function (src/libraw_cxx.cpp) in LibRaw versions prior to 0.18.7     can be exploited to trigger a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2018-5801)

  - 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. (CVE-2018-5805)

  - 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. (CVE-2018-5806)

  - There is an integer overflow vulnerability in dcraw. When the victim runs dcraw with a maliciously crafted     X3F input image, arbitrary code may be executed in the victim's system. (CVE-2021-3624)
