CVE-2017-14988
Header::readfrom in IlmImf/ImfHeader.cpp in OpenEXR 2.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation) via a crafted file that is accessed with the ImfOpenInputFile function in IlmImf/ImfCRgbaFile.cpp.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.01%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
