CVE-2026-43905: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound in AcademySoftwareFoundation OpenImageIO
OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files of any image file format relevant to VFX / animation. Prior to 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0, jpeg2000input.cpp:395 computes buffer size as const int bufsize = w * h * ch * buffer_bpp using signed 32-bit arithmetic. When the product exceeds INT_MAX, the result wraps to 0 or a small value. m_buf.resize() allocates an undersized buffer, and subsequent pixel write loops cause heap overflow. Conditional on USE_OPENJPH build flag. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
OpenImageIO versions before 3.0.18.0 and between 3.1.4.0-beta and 3.1.13.0 contain an integer overflow vulnerability in the jpeg2000input.cpp file. The buffer size is computed using signed 32-bit arithmetic (bufsize = w * h * ch * buffer_bpp), which can overflow when the product exceeds INT_MAX, causing the buffer size to wrap to zero or a small value. This results in an undersized buffer allocation by m_buf.resize(), leading to a heap overflow when pixel data is written. The vulnerability is conditional on the USE_OPENJPH build flag. The issue is fixed in OpenImageIO versions 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0.
Potential Impact
The integer overflow causes an undersized buffer allocation, which leads to a heap overflow during pixel write operations. This can result in memory corruption, potentially allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code under certain conditions. The vulnerability requires local access (AV:L) and user interaction (UI:A), with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no privileges required (PR:N).
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in OpenImageIO versions 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0. Users should upgrade affected versions to these fixed releases to remediate the vulnerability. No vendor advisory content contradicts this; therefore, upgrading to the patched versions is the recommended mitigation.
