Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write in the dwa_uncompress() function when decoding OpenEXR files with DWAA or DWAB compression. An attacker can cause arbitrary memory writes by crafting files with mismatched channel types and counts, leading to pointer arithmetic that exceeds the allocated buffer.
