Doc Text:
A flaw was found in OpenEXR, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. A remote attacker or local user could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted B44 or B44A EXR file. This crafted file can cause an out-of-bounds write during file decoding, which may lead to memory corruption and potentially arbitrary code execution or, most likely, an application crash (Denial of Service).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-01 22:01:47 UTC
OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From version 3.4.0 to before version 3.4.8, a crafted B44 or B44A EXR file can cause an out-of-bounds write in any application that decodes it via exr_decoding_run(). Consequences range from immediate crash (most likely) to corruption of adjacent heap allocations (layout-dependent). This issue has been patched in version 3.4.8.
