Medium
| 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 a flaw in the FastHufDecoder function of the OpenEXR library, which can cause a shift overflow when processing crafted input files. This could potentially lead to problems with application availability, such as a denial of service. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker by opening specially crafted EXR files.
Recommendations:
For OpenEXR 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 use of the FastHufDecoder function until a patch is available. Avoid processing untrusted input files with OpenEXR to minimize the risk of exploitation.
