Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenEXR, allowing remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service
condition.

Background
==========

OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by
Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.

Affected packages
