ETK-2026-3188Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
OpenEXR's HTJ2K decoder can perform an improperly aligned 32-bit memory write while processing a crafted HT-compressed EXR image. An attacker who can cause an application to decode such a file may trigger a denial of service on alignment-sensitive platforms and may cause incorrect output on other systems.
mitigation
Upgrade OpenEXR to version 3.4.17, 3.5.3, or a later release. Until upgrading, avoid decoding untrusted HT-compressed EXR files.
fixed in 3.4.17, 3.5.3
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
