Trigger is a locally opened crafted TIFF (AV:L), the crash is a timing-dependent async race (AC:H), needs a victim to open the file (UI:R), and only crashes the app (A:H, C/I:N).

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files of any image file format relevant to VFX / animation. Prior to 3.1.16.0, a crafted ZIP-compressed TIFF processed with TIFF multithreading enabled can make TIFFInput::read_native_scanlines() return through an error path while asynchronous strip-decompression work remains queued. Because task_set is declared before ok and compressed_scratch, those captured objects are destroyed before the task-set destructor waits, allowing worker tasks to use stale stack and heap storage, resulting in a use-after-scope crash and denial of service. The affected implementation is identified by src/tiff.imageio/tiffinput.cpp, TIFFInput::read_native_scanlines(), task_set, ok, compressed_scratch, and uncompress_one_strip(), which define the relevant source path, functions, state, and trigger. This issue is fixed in 3.1.16.0.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in OpenImageIO prior to 3.1.16.0: processing a crafted ZIP/Deflate-compressed TIFF while TIFF multithreading is enabled can crash the image-reading process. The bug is an object destruction-order error in TIFFInput::read_native_scanlines(), where an error path returns before queued asynchronous strip-decompression tasks are joined, letting worker tasks touch stale stack and heap storage (use-after-scope). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires two specific conditions: (1) the target must process an attacker-crafted ZIP/Deflate-compressed TIFF, and (2) TIFF multithreading must be enabled so strip decompression runs asynchronously via task_set/uncompress_one_strip(). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment All signals converge on a low-to-moderate, availability-only issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to OpenImageIO 3.1.16.0 or later; this is the vendor-released patch that reorders the task_set declaration and changes the early return to a break so queued strip-decompression work is always joined before the captured ok and compressed_scratch objects go out of scope (see GHSA-v278-gpwr-r836, PR 5294, commit 31201c22df477b105b105c0dcfbf5d3d46db431b, and the v3.1.16.0 release tag). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
