Last modified
CVE-2025-48072 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. Version 3.3.2 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow during a read operation due to bad pointer math when decompressing DWAA-packed scan-line EXR files with a maliciously forged chunk. EPSS estimates a 0.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
