"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1792627161 advisory.
- OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the
motion picture industry. In versions 3.4.0 through 3.4.12, a reachable assertion failure in the HTJ2K
decode path allows a crafted HTJ2K-compressed EXR file to cause an unconditional process abort in any
application that calls exr_start_read() on untrusted input, resulting in denial of service. The crash is
triggered by a QCD marker whose lower five bits are zero, which OpenEXR passes into the vendored OpenJPH
library while constructing the codestream and evaluating its quantization delta parameters. OpenJPH uses
an assertion rather than a recoverable error to validate those bits, so any invalid value calls abort()
directly and cannot be intercepted by surrounding error handling, a problem compounded by OpenEXR wrapping
only its internal HT header parser in error handling while leaving the later codestream read and
construction calls unprotected. This issue has been resolved in version 3.4.13. (CVE-2026-54920)
- OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the
motion picture industry. Versions prior to 3.2.10, 3.3.12 and 3.4.13 contain a heap out-of-bounds write in
Imf_4_0::SampleCountChannel::set(int r, unsigned int newNumSamples[]). The row-based sample-count setter
computes the target Y coordinate with dataWindow.min.x instead of dataWindow.min.y. For a valid deep image
data window where min.x != min.y, a valid row index can be translated into an invalid Y coordinate,
causing writes before the allocated _numSamples buffer. The vulnerability is reachable through the public
OpenEXRUtil DeepImage API and can lead to heap corruption and process crashes. This issue has been fixed
in versions 3.2.10, 3.3.12 and 3.4.13. (CVE-2026-55059)
- OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the
motion picture industry. Versions prior to 3.2.10, 3.3.12, and 3.4.13 contain an infinite-loop
vulnerability in SampleCountChannel. The helper roundListSizeUp() rounds a sample-list size up to the next
power of two using repeated unsigned left shifts, which terminates for normal values but fails for
UINT_MAX: the sequence reaches 0x80000000, and the next left shift wraps the 32-bit value to 0. Because 0
remains less than UINT_MAX, the loop never progresses and never exits. The bug is reachable through public
OpenEXRUtil APIs, either by editing the sample-count buffer through SampleCountChannel::Edit (whose
destructor calls endEdit()) or by calling SampleCountChannel::set(x, y, UINT_MAX) on a valid pixel. This
issue has been fixed in versions 3.2.10, 3.3.12, and 3.4.13. (CVE-2026-55373)
- OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the
motion picture industry. In versions 3.1.0 through 3.2.10, 3.3.0 through 3.3.12, and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13,
an int32_t multiplication in OpenEXRCore's unpack_sample_table() can overflow while decoding a crafted
deep tiled EXR file, producing an invalid pointer that leads to a read from an unmapped memory address and
a crash. Because the overflow occurs in the standard decoding path (exr_decoding_run), any application
that decodes deep tiled EXR files is affected. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.11, 3.3.13, and 3.4.14.
(CVE-2026-59183)
- OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the
motion picture industry. Versions before 3.2.11, 3.3.0 through 3.3.12, and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13 allow a
crafted EXR with a nonzero dataWindow.min to make TypedFlatImageChannel::row() return an invalid heap
pointer, causing out-of-bounds or use-after-free writes. This occurs when an application writes rows
through FlatHalfChannel::row(). Affected consumers are tools, converters, render pipeline components, or
image-processing services that accept untrusted EXR files and use FlatHalfChannel::row() on loaded images.
This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.11, 3.3.13, and 3.4.14. (CVE-2026-59184)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
