SUSE SLES12 Security Update : openexr (SUSE-SU-2026:4005-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 348449

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:4005-1 advisory.

- CVE-2026-59186: On ILP32, the Array2D<Rgba> tile-conversion buffer size calculation overflows, allocates a much smaller heap buffer, and tile decode writes past that allocation (bsc#1276850).
- CVE-2026-61555: crashing 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 (bsc#1276859).
- CVE-2026-68515: The utility allocates sampled channel storage using a truncated union_width / xSampling, then reads the sampled input through a Slice based on the misaligned union window, producing a heap out-of-bounds write (bsc#1276848).

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

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

Solution

Update the affected libIlmImf-Imf_2_1-21, openexr and / or openexr-devel packages.
