{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68513","details":"OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image format, widely used in the motion picture industry. Versions 3.3.0 through 3.3.12 and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13 contain a heap buffer overflow in PyOpenEXR triggered by a channel-name key collision between literal and prefixed RGB channels. When separate_channels=false, PyOpenEXR maps each physical channel name through channelNameToRGBA() and coalesces the results into a shared RGB array. A crafted flat scanline EXR that contains both a literal channel such as left and prefixed channels such as left.R, left.G, and left.B causes these names to collide, so the wrapper reuses an undersized two-dimensional NumPy array for the coalesced RGB slices and writes out of bounds when OpenEXR.File(path) decodes the pixels. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.13 and 3.4.14.","modified":"2026-09-02T19:36:28.777678500Z","published":"2026-08-25T20:17:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-68513"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-68513"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-68513"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/security/advisories/GHSA-rw5h-3q4v-c3vc"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/commit/c1f3ec0d91cfa5a8035ecd00920835ac76e01640"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/commit/d134e3cd81a2e343f2919e86bf949f576b1ab16a"}],"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_name":"libopenexr22","binary_version":"2.2.0-10ubuntu2.6+esm4"},{"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-2026-68513.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_version":"2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.9+esm1","binary_name":"openexr"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68513.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_name":"libopenexr24","binary_version":"2.3.0-6ubuntu0.5+esm2"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-6ubuntu0.5+esm2","binary_name":"openexr"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68513.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-2026-68513.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_version":"3.1.5-5.1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"libopenexr-3-1-30"},{"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-2026-68513.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":"3.1.13-2ubuntu0.26.04.1~esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68513.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
