CVE-2020-16588 OpenEXR vulnerabilities
Title: OpenEXR vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in OpenEXR.
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.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
