Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenEXR, allowing remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service
condition.

Background
==========

OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by
Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-libs/openexr < 1.7.0 >= 1.7.0

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenEXR. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======

A context-dependent attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a
Denial of Service condition via unspecified vectors.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All OpenEXR users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/openexr-1.7.0"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
packages.
