A vulnerability was found in the Academy Software Foundation OpenEXR and requires that a malicious EXR file image is parsed by the target device or environment using OpenEXR. This issue occurs due to a failure in validating the number of scanline samples of an OpenEXR file containing deep scanline data, allowing a read or write primitive based on the provided EXR file attributes. This flaw could be used to read or write memory to a compromised device through an attacker-placed EXR image.
