DescriptionNVD

OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. In versions 3.3.0 through 3.3.6 and 3.4.0 through 3.4.4, a heap-buffer-overflow (OOB read) occurs in the istream_nonparallel_read function in ImfContextInit.cpp when parsing a malformed EXR file through a memory-mapped IStream. A signed integer subtraction produces a negative value that is implicitly converted to size_t, resulting in a massive length being passed to memcpy. Versions 3.3.7 and 3.4.5 contain a patch.

AnalysisAI

OpenEXR versions 3.3.0-3.3.6 and 3.4.0-3.4.4 are vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow in file parsing due to improper integer handling when processing malformed EXR files, allowing attackers to trigger a denial of service through memory-mapped streams. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability. …
