ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1778760144 advisory.

  - OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage
    format for the motion picture industry. From versions 3.0.0 to before 3.2.9, 3.3.0 to before 3.3.11, and
    3.4.0 to before 3.4.11, there is an integer overflow in ImageChannel::resize that leads to heap OOB write
    via OpenEXRUtil public API. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11, and 3.4.11.
    (CVE-2026-41142)

  - OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage
    format for the motion picture industry. From versions 3.0.0 to before 3.2.9, 3.3.0 to before 3.3.11, and
    3.4.0 to before 3.4.11, IDManifest::init() reconstructs strings from a prefix-compressed representation.
    If the previous string is longer than 255 bytes, the next string is expected to begin with a 2-byte prefix
    length. The code reads stringList[i][0] and stringList[i][1] without checking that the current string has
    at least two bytes. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11, and 3.4.11. (CVE-2026-42216)

  - OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage
    format for the motion picture industry. From versions 3.0.0 to before 3.2.9, 3.3.0 to before 3.3.11, and
    3.4.0 to before 3.4.11, readVariableLengthInteger() decodes a variable-length integer from untrusted EXR
    input without bounding the shift count. After enough continuation bytes, the code executes a left shift by
    70 on a 64-bit value, which is undefined behavior. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11,
    and 3.4.11. (CVE-2026-42217)

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