✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted or unverified EXR image files with the `exrmultiview` utility. Users should exercise caution when handling EXR files from unknown or suspicious sources. If possible, restrict the execution environment of `exrmultiview` through sandboxing mechanisms to limit potential impact.
