CVE-2018-5811
An error within the "nikon_coolscan_load_raw()" function (internal/dcraw_common.cpp) in LibRaw versions prior to 0.18.9 can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds read memory access and subsequently cause a crash.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.93%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
