Libraw · Libraw · CVE-2018-5815
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
LibRaw versions prior to 0.18.12
**Description**
The issue is related to an integer overflow error within the `parse qt()` function in the internal/dcraw common.cpp component of the LibRaw image processing library. This error can be exploited to trigger an infinite loop via a specially crafted Apple QuickTime file, potentially leading to a denial of service. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 0.18.12, update to version 0.18.12 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the `parse qt()` function until a patch is available.
