What is CVE-2025-59731?

A vulnerability exists in the decoding process of OpenEXR files that utilize DWAA or DWAB compression formats. The system does not adequately verify the specified raw length of run-length-encoded (RLE) data before using it to calculate output data dimensions. This oversight can lead to potential buffer overflows as the application may attempt to access memory beyond the allocated bounds of the RLE data buffer. To mitigate this issue, users are advised to upgrade to version 8.0 or later.
