OpenEXR Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
2026-04-06
Integer overflow in OpenEXR's PIZ wavelet decompression leads to out-of-bounds memory access when processing malicious EXR image files. Affects OpenEXR 3.1.0 through 3.2.6, 3.3.0-3.3.8, and 3.4.0-3.4.8. Local attackers can trigger memory corruption through crafted EXR files without authentication (CVSS:4.0 AV:L/PR:N), achieving high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. EPSS data not available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Vendor-released patches available in versions 3.2.7, 3.3.9, and 3.4.9.
Unaligned memory write in OpenEXR DWA decoder causes immediate crashes on ARM/RISC-V architectures and enables potential exploitation on x86 systems via compiler optimization abuse. Affects OpenEXR versions 3.2.0-3.2.6, 3.3.0-3.3.8, and 3.4.0-3.4.8 when processing DWA/DWAB-compressed EXR files with FLOAT-type channels. Remote attackers can trigger this by convincing users to open malicious EXR files (CVSS 7.1, AV:N/PR:N/UI:R). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the technical details are fully disclosed in the GitHub security advisory.
