Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2024-03-01 11:06 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:06 – Source website

Summary

OpenEXR security update

Details

OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format originally developed by Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.

Security Fix(es):

Due to a failure in validating the number of scanline samples of a OpenEXR file containing deep scanline data, Academy Software Foundation OpenEX image parsing library version 3.2.1 and prior is susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue was resolved as of versions v3.2.2 and v3.1.12 of the affected library. (CVE-2023-5841)

Severity

9.1 (Critical)
