NVD Description

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

OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. In versions 3.4.0 through 3.4.9, 3.3.0 through 3.3.9, and 3.2.0 through 3.2.7, internal_dwa_compressor.h:1040 performs chan-&gt;width * chan-&gt;bytes_per_element in int32 arithmetic without a (size_t) cast. This is the same overflow pattern fixed in other decoders by CVE-2026-34589/34588/34544, but this line was missed. Versions 3.4.10, 3.3.10, and 3.2.8 contain a fix that addresses internal_dwa_compressor.h:1040.
