NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openimageio package and not the openimageio package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files of any image file format relevant to VFX / animation. Prior to 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, A crafted cineon image can declare unsupported component bit depth 26. cineoninput::open() maps it to a 32-bit imagespec, but libcineon maps the unsupported depth to an 8-byte value, so cineoninput::read_native_scanline() causes attacker-controlled data to be written beyond the 4-byte-per-pixel caller buffer, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds write and memory corruption. The affected implementation is identified by src/cineon.imageio/cineoninput.cpp, CineonInput::open(), CineonInput::read_native_scanline(), ComponentDataSize(), bit depth 26, and ImageSpec, which define the relevant source path, functions, state, and trigger. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1.
