Packages
- openexr - tools for the OpenEXR image format
Details
It was discovered that OpenEXR incorrectly handled certain malformed EXR
image files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted EXR image file,
a remote attacker could cause a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 20.10
Ubuntu 20.04
Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 16.04
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
