Background
OpenImageIO is a library for reading and writing images. It provides various functionalities for image processing and manipulation. The library is vulnerable to multiple security issues, including buffer overflows and out-of-bounds read and write programming errors. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by processing a malformed image file, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or the execution of arbitrary code.
