Technical details
A heap-based out-of-bounds read exists in the parseNikonMakernote() function when processing ShotInfo metadata tags in Nikon NEF/TIFF files. An attacker can craft a malicious image with a 5-byte ShotInfo tag declaring version 243 to read past the buffer boundary. This occurs because the code does not properly validate the buffer size before accessing memory, leading to information disclosure or denial of service.
