Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
DNG SDK versions 1.7.0 and earlier are affected by an Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The DNG SDK (Digital Negative, Adobe's raw image format) versions 1.7.0 and earlier contain an integer overflow vulnerability that can be triggered when processing a specially crafted malicious DNG file. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the user opening the file.

MitigationUpdate DNG SDK to a version newer than 1.7.0 when a patch is released by the vendor. Until then, avoid opening untrusted DNG files from unknown or untrusted sources.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify DNG SDK presence
    Search the system for files named 'dng_sdk.dll', 'dng_negative.h', or Adobe DNG SDK related binaries and libraries. Check application dependencies or software inventory listings for 'Adobe DNG SDK' or 'dng' components.
    Affected if The DNG SDK library files are found on the system or listed as a software dependency.
  2. Determine installed DNG SDK version
    Right-click the DNG SDK DLL or binary file, select Properties, then view the Version tab to obtain the File Version or Product Version number. If using a library within an application, check the application's about or dependencies dialog for the embedded SDK version.
    Affected if The displayed version is 1.7.0 or any version number lower than 1.7.0 (for example, 1.6.x, 1.5.x, etc.).
  3. Verify application usage of DNG processing
    Identify applications or tools that process DNG raw image files. Review the application's documentation or installed components to confirm it relies on the Adobe DNG SDK for parsing DNG files.
    Affected if The application uses the Adobe DNG SDK to handle DNG file parsing and the SDK version is 1.7.0 or earlier.
  4. Check for trusted file handling policies
    Review whether the environment processes DNG files from untrusted or unknown sources, such as user uploads, downloaded raw images, or third-party content.
    Affected if DNG files from untrusted sources are processed by any application using the affected DNG SDK version.

You are affected if the Adobe DNG SDK version installed in your environment is 1.7.0 or earlier and any application or tool on the system uses it to process DNG image files.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 1.7.0
Interim mitigation

Update DNG SDK to a version newer than 1.7.0 when a patch is released by the vendor. Until then, avoid opening untrusted DNG files from unknown or untrusted sources.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

DNG SDK version greater than 1.7.0 (check Adobe security bulletin for exact fixed release)

  1. Verify the current DNG SDK version in use by checking project dependencies or library files
  2. Navigate to the official Adobe security bulletin on helpx.adobe.com for CVE-2025-64783 to obtain the exact fixed version number
  3. Download the fixed DNG SDK version from the official Adobe source
  4. Update the project dependency or replace the SDK library files with the fixed version
  5. Rebuild and test the application to ensure compatibility with the new SDK version
  6. Verify that the integer overflow vulnerability is resolved by confirming the SDK version
Caveat Review Adobe release notes for any API changes or behavioral differences between 1.7.0 and the fixed version
