TL;DR

The exrmetrics tool sizes tiled channel vectors using values that truncate on ILP32 builds for oversized positive data windows. A crafted tiled EXR can therefore cause a heap buffer overflow while exrmetrics processes channel data. The fix rejects or correctly sizes the oversized allocation on 32-bit builds.

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) exrmetrics tool on untrusted EXR files that exercise tiled channel vectors.

Background info

AcademySoftwareFoundation.openexr is vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow in versions 3.3.0 - 3.4.13.

How to fix this

Upgrade the AcademySoftwareFoundation.openexr library to the patch version.
