OpenEXR is vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Memory
33
Low Risk
This Affects:
OpenEXRTL;DR
OpenEXRCore's deep-scanline decoding path, shipped in the PyPI OpenEXR module, accepts a compressed chunk whose sample-count table length is zero, skips decompression, and later reads an uninitialized sample-count buffer during validation. That undefined behavior can crash the reading process. The fix initializes or rejects the absent compressed sample-count table before it is read.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you decode or validate untrusted compressed deep-scanline EXR files through the OpenEXR Python bindings.
Background info
OpenEXR is vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Memory in versions 3.2.3 - 3.4.13.
How to fix this
Upgrade the OpenEXR library to the patch version.
