Echo: openexr: security update to 3.1.13-2

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472915

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the
 motion picture industry. From version 3.4.0 through 3.4.13, a crafted HTJ2K-compressed EXR can crash
 OpenEXR during normal decode. An HTJ2K-compressed EXR whose JPEG 2000 SIZ fields place the first tile
 outside the visible image can reach invalid tile and codeblock geometry in the vendored OpenJPH AVX2
 decoder, causing a stack out-of-bounds write and denial of service. OpenEXR's HTJ2K path validates the
 decoded codestream dimensions against the EXR chunk size, but it does not reject SIZ image-offset/tile-
 grid geometry where the first tile does not intersect the image. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.14.
 (CVE-2026-68516)

Solution

Update the openexr library and its related packages to version 3.1.13-2 or later.
