"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
