NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream OpenEXR-debugsource package and not the OpenEXR-debugsource package as distributed by RHEL.

There's a flaw in OpenEXR's Scanline API functionality in versions before 3.0.0-beta. An attacker who is able to submit a crafted file to be processed by OpenEXR could trigger excessive consumption of memory, resulting in an impact to system availability.
