OpenEXR: Memory Corruption Risk in Image Files
published 5 months ago
Summary
OpenEXR is a software used to create and edit high-dynamic-range image files. A security update is available to prevent memory corruption that could allow attackers to execute malicious code. Update to version 3.2.9, 3.3.11, or 3.4.11 to fix this issue.
What to do
- Update openeuler openexr to version 3.1.11-9.oe2403.

Original advisory text
OpenEXR security update
OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format originally developed by Industrial Light &amp; Magic for use in computer imaging applications.
Security Fix(es):
OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From versions 3.0.0 to before 3.2.9, 3.3.0 to before 3.3.11, and 3.4.0 to before 3.4.11, there is an integer overflow in ImageChannel::resize that leads to heap OOB write via OpenEXRUtil public API. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11, and 3.4.11.(CVE-2026-41142)
OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From versions 3.0.0 to before 3.2.9, 3.3.0 to before 3.3.11, and 3.4.0 to before 3.4.11, IDManifest::init() reconstructs strings from a prefix-compressed representation. If the previous string is longer than 255 bytes, the next string is expected to begin with a 2-byte prefix length. The code reads stringList[i][0] and stringList[i][1] without checking that the current string has at least two bytes. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11, and 3.4.11.(CVE-2026-42216)

From versions 3.0.0 to before 3.2.9, 3.3.0 to before 3.3.11, and 3.4.0 to before 3.4.11, readVariableLengthInteger() decodes a variable-length integer from untrusted EXR input without bounding the shift count. After enough continuation bytes, the code executes a left shift by 70 on a 64-bit value, which is undefined behavior. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11, and 3.4.11.(CVE-2026-42217)
