AI-suggested
This vulnerability is fixed in openexr versions 3.2.7, 3.3.9, and 3.4.9. Users should upgrade to one of these fixed versions or later to remediate the issue. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed by a vendor advisory in the provided data; therefore, users should verify the availability of official patches or updates from the AcademySoftwareFoundation or the openexr project. Until patched, avoid processing untrusted EXR files with affected versions to reduce risk.
Description
OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From 3.2.0 to before 3.2.7, 3.3.9, and 3.4.9, a signed integer overflow exists in undo_pxr24_impl() in src/lib/OpenEXRCore/internal_pxr24.c at line 377. The expression (uint64_t)(w * 3) computes w * 3 as a signed 32-bit integer before casting to uint64_t. When w is large, this multiplication constitutes undefined behavior under the C standard. On tested builds (clang/gcc without sanitizers), two's-complement wraparound commonly occurs, and for specific values of w the wrapped result is a small positive integer, which may allow the subsequent bounds check to pass incorrectly. If the check is bypassed, the decoding loop proceeds to write pixel data through dout, potentially extending far beyond the allocated output buffer. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.2.7, 3.3.9, and 3.4.9.
