CVE-2026-59189
Description
A flaw was found in OpenEXR. An attacker could provide a specially crafted deep image that, when processed, would cause an out-of-bounds read in the TypedDeepImageChannel<T>::row() API if the image has a non-zero dataWindow origin. This vulnerability can lead to a heap out-of-bounds read, resulting in a crash (Denial of Service) and potential information disclosure.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted EXR deep image files. Limit the use of applications that process EXR deep images to trusted sources only.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
