NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libOpenEXRUtil-3_2-31 package and not the libOpenEXRUtil-3_2-31 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenEXR 3.4.14 contains a NULL Pointer Dereference in the C++ attribute parsing path. A specially crafted EXR file containing an unknown-type attribute with dataSize set to zero causes the parser to create an opaque attribute with a NULL packed_data pointer. The OpaqueAttribute constructor passes the NULL pointer to memcpy() without validating the zero-size condition, resulting in undefined behavior and process termination, leading to denial of service.
