Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the LossyDctDecoder_execute function. An attacker can cause the application to crash or potentially leak sensitive information by providing a specially crafted DWAA-packed scan-line EXR file with a malicious chunk that triggers out-of-bounds heap reads.
