Synopsis
========
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
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

Impact
======
A context-dependent attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a
Denial of Service condition via unspecified vectors.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All OpenEXR users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
