Description

OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From version 3.4.0 to before version 3.4.8, a crafted B44 or B44A EXR file can cause an out-of-bounds write in any application that decodes it via exr_decoding_run(). Consequences range from immediate crash (most likely) to corruption of adjacent heap allocations (layout-dependent). This issue has been patched in version 3.4.8.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

3.2.0 ≤ v < 3.2.73.3.0 ≤ v < 3.3.93.4.0 ≤ v < 3.4.8
Affected range stops below 3.4.8, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
