TL;DR

The exrmaketiled tool sizes ImageChannel buffers from data-window dimensions using arithmetic that truncates on ILP32 builds. A crafted EXR with an oversized data window can therefore cause a heap buffer overflow while exrmaketiled runs on a 32-bit build. The fix rejects or correctly sizes the oversized allocation.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you run the 32-bit (ILP32) exrmaketiled tool on untrusted EXR files.

Background info

AcademySoftwareFoundation.openexr is vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow in versions 2.0.0 - 3.4.13.
