HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs
Summary
OpenImageIO prior to versions 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0 contains a vulnerability in sgiinput.cpp where the use of OIIO_DASSERT for bounds checking in the RLE decode loop does not function in release builds. As a result, a crafted .sgi file with RLE count exceeding scanline width causes heap buffer overflow and crash.
Risk Assessment
Organizations using OpenImageIO may be exposed to application crashes and potential attacks exploiting buffer overflow, which could lead to unauthorized access to the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update OpenImageIO to versions 3.0.18.0 or 3.1.13.0 to mitigate this vulnerability and ensure application security.
Other vulnerabilities in OpenImageIO
See all- CVE-2026-113681Medium
OpenImageIO before 3.0.20.0, 3.1.x before 3.1.15.0, and 3.2.x before 3.2.0.3-beta1 contains an integer overflow in cineon::Codec::Read that undersizes the scanline buffer, causing a heap out-of-bounds read. A crafted Cineon file with a huge declared width wraps the size calculation to zero, so UnPackPacked reads past a 4-byte buffer and crashes the application.
- CVE-2026-67549High
OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files. Prior to 3.1.16.0, a crafted 1-bit contiguous cmyk tiff is exposed through a native uint1 imagespec, so callers allocate a bit-packed buffer. tiffinput::read_native_scanline_locked() nevertheless invokes tiffinput::bit_convert() with 8-bit output and writes one expanded byte per value into that smaller buffer, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds write and memory corruption. This issue is fixed in 3.1.16.0.
- CVE-2026-65970Medium
In OpenImageIO prior to 3.1.16.0, a crafted ZIP-compressed TIFF processed with TIFF multithreading enabled can make TIFFInput::read_native_scanlines() return through an error path while asynchronous strip-decompression work remains queued. Because task_set is declared before ok and compressed_scratch, those captured objects are destroyed before the task-set destructor waits, allowing worker tasks to use stale stack and heap storage.
- CVE-2026-65969Medium
In OpenImageIO prior to 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, a truncated TGA can leave a pending GIF frame that is processed during output close. gifsplitpalette() computes numpixels multiplied by the palette partition width in signed 32-bit arithmetic; a large image overflows that intermediate, corrupts subpixelsa, and drives an out-of-bounds read while building the GIF palette.
- CVE-2026-63638High
OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files. Prior to 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, a crafted cineon image can declare unsupported component bit depth 26. cineoninput::open() maps it to a 32-bit imagespec, but libcineon maps the unsupported depth to an 8-byte value, so cineoninput::read_native_scanline() causes attacker-controlled data to be written beyond the 4-byte-per-pixel caller buffer, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds write and memory corruption. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1.
- CVE-2026-63635Medium
In OpenImageIO prior to 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, a crafted PSD with an invalid color_mode bypasses normal validation when oiio:rawcolor or psd:rawdata is enabled. psdinput::setup() then uses the attacker-controlled value to index fixed color-mode tables, causing a global out-of-bounds read and potentially a bogus allocation.
- CVE-2026-63422High
OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files. Prior to 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, a valid tiled openexr image whose width is not a multiple of its tile width can trigger an overflow when a caller reads a partial edge-tile rectangle. openexrinput::read_native_tiles() copies each row into the caller buffer using the padded whole-tile scanline_stride rather than user_scanline_bytes for the requested rectangle, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds write and memory corruption. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1.
- CVE-2026-63420Medium
In OpenImageIO prior to 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, an indexed PSD with transparency metadata creates fewer stored channel_buffers than the spec.nchannels value advertised by the rawcolor path. When oiio:rawcolor or psd:rawdata is enabled, psdinput::read_native_scanline() passes spec.nchannels to psdinput::interleave_row(), which indexes beyond channel_buffers.
- CVE-2026-63419High
OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files. Prior to 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, a zbuffer-only tiled iff is exposed with a 16-bit public imagespec while the decoder retains a 32-bit internal pixel size. iffinput::read_native_tile() copies according to m_header.pixel_bytes() rather than imagespec::tile_bytes(true), and a failed read can leave m_buf nonempty so a later call copies partially initialized data into the undersized caller buffer, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds write and memory corruption. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1.
- CVE-2026-59956Medium
In OpenImageIO prior to 3.0.20.0, 3.1.15.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, an uncompressed 16-bit IFF image with a z-buffer makes iffinput::readimg() allocate a temporary scanline from m_header.rgba_count but copy from it using m_header.pixel_bytes(), whose stride also includes z-buffer bytes. The oversized memcpy reads beyond the temporary heap buffer and copies adjacent memory into the output image.
Original NVD description (English source)
OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files of any image file format relevant to VFX / animation. Prior to 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0, sgiinput.cpp:265,274 use OIIO_DASSERT for bounds checking in the RLE decode loop. In release builds, OIIO_DASSERT compiles to ((void)sizeof(x)) (dassert.h:210), making all bounds checks no-ops. A crafted .sgi file with RLE count exceeding scanline width causes heap buffer overflow and crash. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0.
