| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
OpenEXR versions prior to 3.0.0-beta
Description:
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the
calculateNumTiles() function of the OpenEXR library when processing input files. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by opening specially crafted EXR files. The flaw allows an attacker to submit a crafted file to be processed by OpenEXR, potentially leading to problems with application availability.Recommendations:
For versions prior to 3.0.0-beta, update to version 3.0.0-beta or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the processing of EXR files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
