  - 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)
