- OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the
motion picture industry. OpenEXR versions 3.1.0 through 3.2.10, 3.3.0 through 3.3.12, and 3.4.0 through
3.4.13 are vulnerable on ILP32 builds to an out-of-bounds write. When a crafted B44-compressed scanline
EXR causes the logical scratch size to truncate before allocation and uncompress_b44_impl() writes using
the attacker-controlled channel width, allowing denial of service and memory corruption. This issue is
fixed in versions 3.2.11, 3.3.13, and 3.4.14. (CVE-2026-59984)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
