CVE-2026-55059

In OpenEXR 2.2.0, a crafted image causes a heap-based buffer over-read in the hufDecode function in IlmImf/ImfHuf.cpp during exrmaketiled execution; it may result in denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact.

In OpenEXR 2.2.0, an invalid write of size 2 in the = operator function in half.h could cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code.

In OpenEXR 2.2.0, an invalid write of size 1 in the bufferedReadPixels function in ImfInputFile.cpp could cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code.

In OpenEXR 2.2.0, an invalid write of size 8 in the storeSSE function in ImfOptimizedPixelReading.h could cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code.

OpenEXR versions from 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 have an issue with the readVariableLengthInteger() function that 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, leading to undefined behavior.

In OpenEXR 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, a vulnerability exists in the IDManifest::init() function. When reconstructing strings from a prefix-compressed representation, the code reads bytes without verifying that the current string has at least two bytes, potentially causing an out-of-bounds read.

OpenEXR before versions 3.2.11, 3.3.13, and 3.4.14 contains a vulnerability in the exrmultiview utility that can write past a heap allocation when combining two attacker-supplied, individually valid scanline EXR files whose union dataWindow is not aligned to one view's channel subsampling. This leads to a heap out-of-bounds write.

PyOpenEXR versions 3.3.0-3.3.12 and 3.4.0-3.4.13 have a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability when reading a crafted deep scanline EXR file. A specially crafted file with a 'left' channel and layer-prefixed RGB channels can cause a buffer overflow and crash.

OpenEXR versions 3.3.0 through 3.3.12 and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13 contain a heap buffer overflow in PyOpenEXR triggered by a channel-name key collision between literal and prefixed RGB channels. A crafted EXR file can cause an out-of-bounds write in a NumPy array during pixel decoding.

OpenEXR versions through 3.2.10, 3.3.0 through 3.3.12, and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13 contain a vulnerability in the OpenEXRUtil library that returns an out-of-bounds pointer from the SampleCountChannel::row() API for deep images with a non-zero dataWindow origin. This can lead to an out-of-bounds read, potentially causing a process crash or disclosure of memory data.
