TL;DR

The exrmetrics tool sizes scanline channel vectors using values that truncate on ILP32 builds for oversized positive data windows. A crafted scanline 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 scanline channel vectors.
