  - Academy Software Foundation OpenEXR EXR File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution
    Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected
    installations of Academy Software Foundation OpenEXR. User interaction is required to exploit this
    vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw
    exists within the parsing of EXR files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length
    of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this
    vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-27946. (CVE-2025-12495)

  - 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 3.3.5 and 3.4.0 through 3.4.2, while
    fuzzing `openexr_exrcheck_fuzzer`, Valgrind reports a conditional branch depending on uninitialized data
    inside `generic_unpack`. This indicates a use of uninitialized memory. The issue can result in undefined
    behavior and/or a potential crash/denial of service. Versions 3.3.6 and 3.4.3 fix the issue.
    (CVE-2025-64181)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
