    It was discovered that LibRaw incorrectly handled certain Nikon RAW image files. An attacker could
    possibly use this issue to cause LibRaw to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-5342)

    It was discovered that LibRaw had an integer overflow in its DNG image loader. An attacker could possibly
    use this issue to cause LibRaw to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
