Summary

OpenEXR 3.4.14 contains a NULL Pointer Dereference in the C++ attribute parsing path. A specially crafted EXR file containing an unknown-type attribute with dataSize set to zero causes the parser to create an opaque attribute with a NULL packed_data pointer. The OpaqueAttribute constructor passes the NULL pointer to memcpy() without validating the zero-size condition, resulting in undefined behavior and process termination.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to denial of service through intentional process crashes when processing malicious EXR files.

Recommendation

Update OpenEXR to a patched version or avoid processing untrusted EXR files.
