OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image file format, widely used in the motion picture industry. In versions 3.3.0 through 3.3.12 and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13, the PyOpenEXR Python bindings contain a heap out-of-bounds write triggered when reading a crafted deep scanline EXR file. When a deep file declares a literal channel named left alongside layer-prefixed RGB channels left.R, left.G, and left.B, the wrapper processes the literal left channel first and allocates a scalar deep sample array for it, then reuses that same array as the coalesced destination for the prefixed RGB group. The deep reader registers sample slices with an RGB stride (three lanes) into storage that was allocated with scalar shape, so decoding the deep samples writes past the allocation. Opening such a file through the default public Python API, OpenEXR.File(path), causes a heap buffer overflow during normal deep sample decode, leading to memory corruption and a crash. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.13 and 3.4.14.
AnalysisAI
Heap buffer overflow in PyOpenEXR Python bindings versions 3.3.0-3.3.12 and 3.4.0-3.4.13 causes memory corruption and process crash when opening a crafted deep scanline EXR file. A specific channel naming collision - a literal channel 'left' coexisting with layer-prefixed 'left.R', 'left.G', 'left.B' - causes the wrapper to allocate scalar-shaped deep sample storage and then write into it at RGB stride (three lanes), overflowing the heap allocation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target application to use the PyOpenEXR Python bindings specifically (not the raw C++ OpenEXR library) and invoke the default OpenEXR.File(path) API without the separate_channels=True parameter. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.5 Medium with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H accurately reflects the threat model: exploitation requires a victim to open a crafted file (UI:R) in a local or pipeline context (AV:L), with no confirmed confidentiality or integrity impact - only availability loss via crash and memory corruption. … 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 | The primary fix is to upgrade PyOpenEXR to version 3.3.13 (3.3.x branch) or 3.4.14 (3.4.x branch), as confirmed by vendor GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-mw28-66qc-c883. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
