ETK-2026-3189Zero'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 legacy Python InputFile.channel() API can perform an out-of-bounds memory write while decoding a crafted EXR file. An attacker must be able to supply an EXR file that the application processes through this legacy API; this can crash the process and permits file-influenced memory writes.
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, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
