A heap-based-buffer-overflow vulnerability was found in OpenEXR’s composite_line() function in the ‘ImfCompositeDeepScanLine.cpp’ file. This flaw allows an attacker to pass a specially crafted file to OpenEXR, by tricking the victim into opening it, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow. This leads to memory corruption and allows an attacker to cause a denial of service.
