Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenEXR, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Background

OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
media-libs/openexr	< 1.7.0	>= 1.7.0	All supported architectures

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenEXR. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

A context-dependent attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition via unspecified vectors.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All OpenEXR users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/openexr-1.7.0"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
