CVE-2026-26981
Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation

OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. In versions 3.3.0 through 3.3.6 and 3.4.0 through 3.4.4, a heap-buffer-overflow (OOB read) occurs in the istream_nonparallel_read function in ImfContextInit.cpp when parsing a malformed EXR file through a memory-mapped IStream. A signed integer subtraction produces a negative value that is implicitly converted to size_t, resulting in a massive length being passed to memcpy. Versions 3.3.7 and 3.4.5 contain a patch.
