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, there is an integer overflow in ImageChannel::resize that leads to heap OOB write via OpenEXRUtil public API. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11, and 3.4.11.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:2114-1 advisory.

    This update for openexr fixes the following issue

    - CVE-2026-41142: integer overflow in `ImageChannel: resize` can lead to a heap out-of-bounds write via     OpenEXRUtil       public API (bsc#1264356).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1713 advisory.

    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     3.4.11, IDManifest::init() reconstructs strings from a prefix-compressed representation. If the previous     string is longer than 255 bytes, the next string is expected to begin with a 2-byte prefix length. The     code reads stringList[i][0] and stringList[i][1] without checking that the current string has at least two     bytes. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11, and 3.4.11.

    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.--- From NIST (CVE-2026-42217)
