Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.67%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An integer overflow leading to a heap-buffer overflow was found in OpenEXR in versions before 3.0.1. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an application compiled with OpenEXR.
