"The version of OpenEXR installed on the remote host is prior to 1.7.1-8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-4051 advisory.
OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the
motion picture industry. In versions before 3.2.11, 3.3.0 through 3.3.12, and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13, a
crafted tiled EXR can trigger a heap out-of-bounds write on 32-bit/ILP32 builds when read through the
public TiledRgbaInputFile RGBA API. The file uses a small 40x40 dataWindow but a 65537x65537 tile size. On
ILP32, the Array2D<Rgba> tile-conversion buffer size calculation overflows, allocates a much smaller heap
buffer, and tile decode writes past that allocation. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.11, 3.3.13, and
3.4.14. (CVE-2026-59186)
OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the
motion picture industry. OpenEXR versions before 3.2.11, 3.3.0 through 3.3.12, and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13
are vulnerable to crashing. This occurs when Imf::GetChannelsInMultiPartFile() processes a crafted EXR
with an empty multiView header attribute and Imf::viewFromChannelName() indexes the empty vector for a
dotless channel name. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.11, 3.3.13, and 3.4.14. (CVE-2026-61555)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
