Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenEXR versions prior to 3.0.5

The issue is related to a flaw in OpenEXR's ImfDeepScanLineInputFile functionality. This flaw can cause an out-of-bounds read when a crafted file is submitted to an application linked with OpenEXR. The greatest risk from this flaw is to application availability. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service.
