A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in AcademySoftwareFoundation OpenEXR up to 3.2.10/3.3.12/3.4.13. Affected is the function Imf::GetChannelsInMultiPartFile of the component MultiView Header Processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the motion picture industry. OpenEXR versions before 3.2.11, 3.3.0 through 3.3.12, and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13 are vulnerable to crashing. This occurs when Imf::GetChannelsInMultiPartFile() processes a crafted EXR with an empty multiView header attribute and Imf::viewFromChannelName() indexes the empty vector for a dotless channel name. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.11, 3.3.13, and 3.4.14.
