CVE-2026-34544

A flaw was found in OpenEXR, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. A remote attacker or local user could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted B44 or B44A EXR file. This crafted file can cause an out-of-bounds write during file decoding, which may lead to memory corruption and potentially arbitrary code execution or, most likely, an application crash (Denial of Service).

This Moderate impact flaw in OpenEXR affects Red Hat products that process EXR image files. A specially crafted B44 or B44A EXR file can trigger an out-of-bounds write during decoding, potentially leading to memory corruption and application crashes. Exploitation requires user interaction with a malicious file.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted B44 or B44A EXR image files with applications linked against the OpenEXR library. Restricting the source of EXR files to trusted origins can reduce the risk of exploitation.
