    Multiple security vulnerabilities have been found in OpenEXR, command-line     tools and a library for the OpenEXR image format. Buffer overflows or     out-of-bound reads could lead to a denial of service (application crash) if     a malformed image file is processed.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     2.2.1-4.1+deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your openexr packages.

    For the detailed security status of openexr please refer to     its security tracker page at:

According to the versions of the OpenEXR package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in OpenEXR before 2.4.1. There is an out-of-bounds read in     ImfOptimizedPixelReading.h. (CVE-2020-11758)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenEXR before 2.4.1. Because of integer overflows in     CompositeDeepScanLine::Data::handleDeepFrameBuffer and readSampleCountForLineBlock, an attacker can write     to an out-of-bounds pointer. (CVE-2020-11759)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenEXR before 2.4.1. There is an out-of-bounds read during RLE uncompression     in rleUncompress in ImfRle.cpp. (CVE-2020-11760)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenEXR before 2.4.1. There is an out-of-bounds read during Huffman     uncompression, as demonstrated by FastHufDecoder::refill in ImfFastHuf.cpp. (CVE-2020-11761)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenEXR before 2.4.1. There is an out-of-bounds read and write in     DwaCompressor::uncompress in ImfDwaCompressor.cpp when handling the UNKNOWN compression case.
    (CVE-2020-11762)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenEXR before 2.4.1. There is an off-by-one error in use of the ImfXdr.h read     function by DwaCompressor::Classifier::Classifier, leading to an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2020-11765)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenEXR before 2.5.2. Invalid input could cause a use-after-free in     DeepScanLineInputFile::DeepScanLineInputFile() in IlmImf/ImfDeepScanLineInputFile.cpp. (CVE-2020-15305)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenEXR before v2.5.2. Invalid chunkCount attributes could cause a heap buffer     overflow in getChunkOffsetTableSize() in IlmImf/ImfMisc.cpp. (CVE-2020-15306)

  - A flaw was found in OpenEXR in versions before 3.0.0-beta. A crafted input file supplied by an attacker,     that is processed by the Dwa decompression functionality of OpenEXR's IlmImf library, could cause a NULL     pointer dereference. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
    (CVE-2021-20296)

  - An integer overflow leading to a heap-buffer overflow was found in the DwaCompressor of OpenEXR in     versions before 3.0.1. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an application compiled with OpenEXR.
    (CVE-2021-23215)

  - An integer overflow leading to a heap-buffer overflow was found in the DwaCompressor of OpenEXR in     versions before 3.0.1. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an application compiled with OpenEXR. This     is a different flaw from CVE-2021-23215. (CVE-2021-26260)

  - There's a flaw in OpenEXR in versions before 3.0.0-beta. A crafted input file that is processed by OpenEXR     could cause a shift overflow in the FastHufDecoder, potentially leading to problems with application     availability. (CVE-2021-3474)

  - There is a flaw in OpenEXR in versions before 3.0.0-beta. An attacker who can submit a crafted file to be     processed by OpenEXR could cause an integer overflow, potentially leading to problems with application     availability. (CVE-2021-3475)

  - There's a flaw in OpenEXR's ImfDeepScanLineInputFile functionality in versions prior to 3.0.5. An attacker     who is able to submit a crafted file to an application linked with OpenEXR could cause an out-of-bounds     read. The greatest risk from this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2021-3598)

  - There's a flaw in OpenEXR's rleUncompress functionality in versions prior to 3.0.5. An attacker who is     able to submit a crafted file to an application linked with OpenEXR could cause an out-of-bounds read. The     greatest risk from this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2021-3605)

  - An integer overflow could occur when OpenEXR processes a crafted file on systems where size_t < 64 bits.
    This could cause an invalid bytesPerLine and maxBytesPerLine value, which could lead to problems with     application stability or lead to other attack paths. (CVE-2021-3933)
