Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2020-15503.

More information:

This update adds size checks to thumbnail extraction. Prior to these checks, it was possible to overflow arguments to e.g. malloc and thus cause out-of-bounds memory accesses.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 0.19.2-2+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libraw packages.
