Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-04-28 17:30:57 UTC 
An issue was discovered in OpenEXR before 2.4.1. Because of integer overflows in CompositeDeepScanLine::Data::handleDeepFrameBuffer and readSampleCountForLineBlock, an attacker can write to an out-of-bounds pointer.

Comment 6 Todd Cullum 2020-05-11 20:52:22 UTC 
Appears to be caused by an integer overflow due to use of an int type rather than ptrdiff_t type in CompositeDeepScanLine::Data::handleDeepFrameBuffer.
Comment 7 Todd Cullum 2020-05-11 20:57:01 UTC 
Statement:

The versions of OpenEXR which are vulnerable to this flaw are not shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or prior.
