CVE-2026-34544 is an OpenEXR vulnerability affecting decoding of crafted EXR images using B44 or B44A compression. In vulnerable versions, applications that process attacker-controlled EXR files via exr_decoding_run() can trigger an integer-overflow-related bounds error during B44/B44A decode logic, resulting in an out-of-bounds write. The advisory context indicates this occurs during row pointer reconstruction in the B44/B44A decoder and leads to an invalid memcpy()-based write. The issue affects OpenEXR 3.4.0 through before 3.4.8; supporting advisory context also indicates affected supported branches included 3.3.0 through 3.3.8 and 3.2.0 through 3.2.6. The flaw was fixed in OpenEXR 3.4.8.
