Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write through the uncompress_b44_impl file. An attacker can cause an out-of-bounds write by supplying a specially crafted B44 or B44A EXR file that triggers an integer overflow, resulting in memory corruption or application crash during decompression.
