Buffer Overflow vulnerability in OpenImageIO v.2.4.12.0 and before allows a remote to execute arbitrary code and obtain sensitive information via a crafted file to the readimg function.
OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files of any image file format relevant to VFX / animation. Prior to 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0, the bounds check in TGAInput::decodepixel computes k + palbytespp as unsigned 32-bit arithmetic. When k = 0xFFFFFFFC and palbytespp = 4, the addition wraps to 0, which compares less than paletteallocsize and passes the check. The subsequent palette access uses the unwrapped k (0xFFFFFFFC) as the index, reading ~4 GB past the start of the palette buffer — SEGV. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0.

OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files of any image file format relevant to VFX / animation. Prior to 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0, jpeg2000input.cpp:395 computes buffer size as const int bufsize = w h ch bufferbpp using signed 32-bit arithmetic. When the product exceeds INTMAX, the result wraps to 0 or a small value. mbuf.resize() allocates an undersized buffer, and subsequent pixel write loops cause heap overflow. Conditional on USEOPENJPH build flag. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0.
