{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44663","details":"OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the motion picture industry. In versions 3.4.0 through 3.4.11, an integer overflow in ht_undo_impl() in src/lib/OpenEXRCore/internal_ht.cpp leads to a heap-buffer overflow when decoding a crafted HTJ2K-compressed EXR file. decode-\u003echannels[i].width (int32_t) is multiplied by bytes_per_element in 32-bit signed arithmetic. With large widths (e.g., \u003e= 536870912 for FLOAT data), this overflows, producing a corrupted offset that is later used for pointer arithmetic and can cause a heap out-of-bounds write. The same unchecked multiplication pattern appears in two other HTJ2K paths (bytes-per-line accumulation and pixel-line pointer advancement). As with related CVE-2026-34378 through CVE-2026-34589 fixes in other codecs, validating only after the multiplication is too late because the value may already be overflowed. This issue has been fixed in version 3.4.12.","modified":"2026-06-29T13:50:24.083931133Z","published":"2026-06-18T21:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-44663"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-44663"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44663"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/security/advisories/GHSA-777r-f9x8-7r84"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/pull/2403"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/releases/tag/v3.4.12"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openexr","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/openexr?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.2.0-1ubuntu3","2.2.0-7ubuntu1","2.2.0-9ubuntu1","2.2.0-10ubuntu2","2.2.0-10ubuntu2.1","2.2.0-10ubuntu2.2","2.2.0-10ubuntu2.3","2.2.0-10ubuntu2.4","2.2.0-10ubuntu2.6","2.2.0-10ubuntu2.6+esm1","2.2.0-10ubuntu2.6+esm2","2.2.0-10ubuntu2.6+esm3","2.2.0-10ubuntu2.6+esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.2.0-10ubuntu2.6+esm4","binary_name":"libopenexr22"},{"binary_version":"2.2.0-10ubuntu2.6+esm4","binary_name":"openexr"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44663.json"}},{"package":{"name":"openexr","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/openexr?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.2.0-11ubuntu1","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.1","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.2","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.3","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.4","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.6","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.7","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.8","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.9","2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.9+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.9+esm1","binary_name":"libopenexr22"},{"binary_name":"openexr","binary_version":"2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.9+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44663.json"}},{"package":{"name":"openexr","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/openexr?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.2.1-4.1ubuntu1","2.3.0-6","2.3.0-6build1","2.3.0-6ubuntu0.1","2.3.0-6ubuntu0.2","2.3.0-6ubuntu0.3","2.3.0-6ubuntu0.5","2.3.0-6ubuntu0.5+esm1","2.3.0-6ubuntu0.5+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.3.0-6ubuntu0.5+esm2","binary_name":"libopenexr24"},{"binary_name":"openexr","binary_version":"2.3.0-6ubuntu0.5+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44663.json"}},{"package":{"name":"openexr","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/openexr?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fjammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.5.4-2","2.5.7-1","2.5.7-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","2.5.7-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libopenexr25","binary_version":"2.5.7-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"openexr","binary_version":"2.5.7-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44663.json"}},{"package":{"name":"openexr","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/openexr?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fnoble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.1.5-5.1","3.1.5-5.1build1","3.1.5-5.1build2","3.1.5-5.1build3","3.1.5-5.1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libopenexr-3-1-30","binary_version":"3.1.5-5.1ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_name":"openexr","binary_version":"3.1.5-5.1ubuntu0.1~esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44663.json"}},{"package":{"name":"openexr","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/openexr?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.1.13-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.1.13-2","binary_name":"libopenexr-3-1-30"},{"binary_name":"openexr","binary_version":"3.1.13-2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44663.json"}},{"package":{"name":"openexr","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/openexr?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fresolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.1.13-2","3.1.13-2build1","3.1.13-2ubuntu0.26.04.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libopenexr-3-1-30","binary_version":"3.1.13-2ubuntu0.26.04.1~esm1"},{"binary_name":"openexr","binary_version":"3.1.13-2ubuntu0.26.
