8th percentile - higher than 8% of all known CVEs

Summary

When decoding an OpenEXR file with DWAA or DWAB compression, there is an implicit assumption that height and width are divisible by 8. If not, copy loops write up to the next multiple of 8, exceeding the allocated buffer and corrupting heap memory.

Risk Assessment

A malicious OpenEXR file with dimensions not divisible by 8 could cause memory corruption, leading to a crash or potential code execution.

Recommendation

Upgrade OpenEXR to version 8.0 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)

When decoding an OpenEXR file that uses DWAA or DWAB compression, there's an implicit assumption that the height and width are divisible by 8. If the height or width of the image is not divisible by 8, the copy loops at [0] and [1] will continue to write until the next multiple of 8. The buffer td->uncompressed_data is allocated in decode_block based on the precise height and width of the image, so the "rounded-up" multiple of 8 in the copy loop can exceed the buffer bounds, and the write block starting at [2] can corrupt following heap memory. We recommend upgrading to version 8.0 or beyond.
