Denial of service via PSD directory overread
Published Dec 23, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in OpenImageIO master-branch-9aeece7a allows remote attackers to cause denial of service via crafted PSD files. The PSD parser reads beyond a heap buffer while processing image file directory data from an attacker-supplied file. Exploitation requires a process to open the malicious PSD, and the documented consequence is process denial of service without stated data modification or disclosure.
