  - OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage
    format for the motion picture industry. Version 3.3.2 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow during
    a read operation due to bad pointer math when decompressing DWAA-packed scan-line EXR files with a
    maliciously forged chunk. This is fixed in version 3.3.3. (CVE-2025-48072)
