Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-34589

high Nessus Plugin ID 305107

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From 3.2.0 to before 3.2.7, 3.3.9, and 3.4.9, the DWA lossy decoder constructs temporary per-component block pointers using signed 32-bit arithmetic. For a large enough width, the calculation overflows and later decoder stores operate on a wrapped pointer outside the allocated rowBlock backing store. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.2.7, 3.3.9, and 3.4.9. (CVE-2026-34589)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
