CVE-2026-42217
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From versions 3.0.0 to before 3.2.9, 3.3.0 to before 3.3.11, and 3.4.0 to before 3.4.11, readVariableLengthInteger() decodes a variable-length integer from untrusted EXR input without bounding the shift count. After enough continuation bytes, the code executes a left shift by 70 on a 64-bit value, which is undefined behavior. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11, and 3.4.11.

Desde las versiones 3.0.0 hasta antes de la 3.2.9, 3.3.0 hasta antes de la 3.3.11, y 3.4.0 hasta antes de la 3.4.11, readVariableLengthInteger() decodifica un entero de longitud variable de una entrada EXR no confiable sin limitar el recuento de desplazamiento. Después de suficientes bytes de continuación, el código ejecuta un desplazamiento a la izquierda de 70 en un valor de 64 bits, lo cual es un comportamiento indefinido. Este problema ha sido parcheado en las versiones 3.2.9, 3.3.11 y 3.4.11."
