CVE-2026-26981

O

penEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. In versions 3.3.0 through 3.3.6 and 3.4.0 through 3.4.4, a heap-buffer-overflow (OOB read) occurs in the `istream_nonparallel_read` function in `ImfContextInit.cpp` when parsing a malformed EXR file through a memory-mapped `IStream`. A signed integer subtraction produces a negative value that is implicitly converted to `size_t`, resulting in a massive length being passed to `memcpy`. Versions 3.3.7 and 3.4.5 contain a patch.

Summary
  • (es) OpenEXR proporciona la especificación y la implementación de referencia del formato de archivo EXR, un formato de almacenamiento de imágenes para la industria cinematográfica. En las versiones 3.3.0 a 3.3.6 y 3.4.0 a 3.4.4, ocurre un desbordamiento de búfer de pila (lectura fuera de límites) en la función `istream_nonparallel_read` en `ImfContextInit.cpp` al analizar un archivo EXR malformado a través de un `IStream` mapeado en memoria. Una resta de enteros con signo produce un valor negativo que se convierte implícitamente a `size_t`, lo que resulta en una longitud masiva que se pasa a `memcpy`. Las versiones 3.3.7 y 3.4.5 contienen un parche.
