Summary

OpenEXR from 3.4.0 to before 3.4.9 has a missing bounds check on the dataWindow attribute in EXR file headers, allowing an attacker to trigger a signed integer overflow in generic_unpack(). Setting dataWindow.min.x to a large negative value causes an enormous image width and an overflowing multiplication, terminating the process with SIGILL via UBSan. This is fixed in 3.4.9.

Risk Assessment

A crafted EXR file can crash the image-processing process, leading to denial of service. In some configurations, it may also lead to further memory-related impacts.

Recommendation

Upgrade OpenEXR to version 3.4.9 or later. Until patched, avoid processing untrusted EXR files.

Original NVD description (English source)

OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From 3.4.0 to before 3.4.9, a missing bounds check on the dataWindow attribute in EXR file headers allows an attacker to trigger a signed integer overflow in generic_unpack(). By setting dataWindow.min.x to a large negative value, OpenEXRCore computes an enormous image width, which is later used in a signed integer multiplication that overflows, causing the process to terminate with SIGILL via UBSan. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.4.9.
