  - OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files of any image file format
    relevant to VFX / animation. Prior to 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1, A crafted cineon image can
    declare unsupported component bit depth 26. cineoninput::open() maps it to a 32-bit imagespec, but
    libcineon maps the unsupported depth to an 8-byte value, so cineoninput::read_native_scanline() causes
    attacker-controlled data to be written beyond the 4-byte-per-pixel caller buffer, resulting in a heap out-
    of-bounds write and memory corruption. The affected implementation is identified by
    src/cineon.imageio/cineoninput.cpp, CineonInput::open(), CineonInput::read_native_scanline(),
    ComponentDataSize(), bit depth 26, and ImageSpec, which define the relevant source path, functions, state,
    and trigger. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.21.0, 3.1.16.0, and 3.2.0.3-beta1. (CVE-2026-63638)

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