TL;DR

A signed integer overflow while decoding deep tile chunks from a crafted EXR can produce an out-of-bounds memory access and crash the reading process. The issue is reachable by opening a malformed deep tiled file and results in denial of service rather than reliably attacker-controlled corruption. The fix validates deep-tile size computations with wider arithmetic before indexing.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you decode untrusted deep tiled EXR files.

Background info

AcademySoftwareFoundation.openexr is vulnerable to Denial of Service in versions 3.3.0 - 3.3.12 and 3.4.0 - 3.4.13.

How to fix this

Upgrade the AcademySoftwareFoundation.openexr library to the patch version.
