TL;DR

Affected versions of openexr contain an integer overflow vulnerability in readVariableLengthInteger() when parsing variable-length integers from untrusted EXR files. A specially crafted file can trigger undefined behavior through an oversized bit shift, potentially leading to out-of-bounds reads, memory corruption, or denial of service during file parsing.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
