CVE-2026-34544 Details
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.
A high-severity out-of-bounds write vulnerability has been identified in OpenEXR versions 3.4.0 prior to 3.4.8. The issue arises in the B44 and B44A decoding process, where the decoder improperly calculates row offsets, leading to memory corruption or application crashes. This vulnerability can be exploited by crafting a specific EXR file that, when decoded, causes the application to write data to an invalid memory location, potentially overwriting adjacent heap allocations.
Users should update to OpenEXR version 3.4.8, where this vulnerability has been patched.
