Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

OpenEXR 是 EXR 图像文件格式的参考实现和规范，广泛应用于电影行业。在 3.3.0 至 3.3.12 以及 3.4.0 至 3.4.13 版本中，PyOpenEXR Python 绑定存在一个堆越界写入漏洞。当读取精心构造的深度扫描线（deep scanline）EXR 文件时，该漏洞会被触发。 具体而言，当一个深度文件声明了一个名为 的字面量通道（literal channel），同时又存在带有层前缀的 RGB 通道 、 和 时，绑定模块会优先处理字面量通道 ，并为其分配一个标量（scalar）深度样本

Vulnerability Title
OpenEXR: Heap buffer overflow in PyOpenEXR from literal/prefixed RGB channel name collision in deep images
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image file format, widely used in the motion picture industry. In versions 3.3.0 through 3.3.12 and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13, the PyOpenEXR Python bindings contain a heap out-of-bounds write triggered when reading a crafted deep scanline EXR file. When a deep file declares a literal channel named left alongside layer-prefixed RGB channels left.R, left.G, and left.B, the wrapper processes the literal left channel first and allocates a scalar deep sample array for it, then reuses that same array as the coalesced destination for the prefixed RGB group. The deep reader registers sample slices with an RGB stride (three lanes) into storage that was allocated with scalar shape, so decoding the deep samples writes past the allocation. Opening such a file through the default public Python API, OpenEXR.File(path), causes a heap buffer overflow during normal deep sample decode, leading to memory corruption and a crash. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.13 and 3.4.14.
