TL;DR

OpenEXR's NO_COMPRESSION scanline path, embedded in the PyPI OpenEXR extension, accepts a chunk shorter than the declared unpacked pixel data. The short chunk leaves part of the destination buffer uninitialized, and those bytes can be copied into caller-visible pixels during decode through the Python bindings. The fix rejects undersized compressed or raw streams before reconstructing full channel rows.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you decode untrusted uncompressed scanline EXR files through the OpenEXR Python bindings.

Background info

OpenEXR is vulnerable to Information Disclosure in versions 3.2.3 - 3.4.13.

How to fix this

Upgrade the OpenEXR library to the patch version.
