Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From 3.2.0 to before 3.2.7, 3.3.9, and 3.4.9, the DWA lossy decoder constructs temporary per-component block pointers using signed 32-bit arithmetic. For a large enough width, the calculation overflows and later decoder stores operate on a wrapped pointer outside the allocated rowBlock backing store. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.2.7, 3.3.9, and 3.4.9.
Analysis
Integer overflow in OpenEXR's DWA lossy decoder (versions 3.2.0-3.2.6, 3.3.0-3.3.8, 3.4.0-3.4.8) enables local attackers to trigger out-of-bounds memory writes when processing maliciously crafted EXR image files. The vulnerability stems from signed 32-bit arithmetic overflow in block pointer calculations for large image widths, causing decoder operations to write outside allocated memory buffers. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running OpenEXR 3.2.0-3.4.8 using software inventory tools and disable or restrict DWA decoder functionality if possible. Within 7 days: Implement file-source controls to prevent opening of EXR files from untrusted sources; provide security awareness training on the risks of opening unsolicited image files. …
