NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openexr package and not the openexr package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:26.10 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. Version 3.3.2 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow during a read operation due to bad pointer math when decompressing DWAA-packed scan-line EXR files with a maliciously forged chunk. This is fixed in version 3.3.3.
