Synopsis
========

A buffer overread in LibRaw might allow an attacker to cause denial of
service.

Background
==========

LibRaw is a library for reading RAW files obtained from digital photo
cameras.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-libs/libraw          < 0.20.2                    >= 0.20.2

Description
===========

LibRaw incorrectly handles parsing DNG fields in some cases, potentially
resulting in a buffer overread leading to denial of service.

Impact
======

An attacker capable of providing crafted input to LibRaw could trigger denial of service.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All LibRaw users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libraw-0.20.2"

References
==========
