CVE-2026-40244

OpenEXR has integer overflow in DWA setupChannelData planarUncRle pointer arithmetic (missed variant of CVE-2026-34589)

Published: Apr 21, 2026Updated: Apr 22, 2026 Sources: CVE List NVDCWE-190

Description

OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. In versions 3.4.0 through 3.4.9, 3.3.0 through 3.3.9, and 3.2.0 through 3.2.7, `internal_dwa_compressor.h:1722` performs `curc->width * curc->height` in `int32` arithmetic without a `(size_t)` cast. This is the same overflow pattern fixed in other locations by the recent CVE-2026-34589 batch, but this line was missed. Versions 3.4.10, 3.3.10, and 3.2.8 contain a fix that addresses `internal_dwa_compressor.h:1722`.
