ETK-2026-3179Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.description
OpenEXRCore is affected when an application processes an untrusted OpenEXR file using DWAA or DWAB compression with extreme declared dimensions. A crafted file can exhaust memory or cause heap corruption in the consuming process; exploitation requires the target to decode the supplied image.
mitigation
Upgrade OpenEXR to 3.3.15, 3.4.17, 3.5.3 or later.
fixed in 3.3.15, 3.4.17, 3.5.3
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
