Description
Multiple Apple Mac OS X 10.4 applications might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted OpenEXR (.exr) image file, which triggers the crash when opening a folder using Finder, displaying the image in Safari, or using Preview to open the file.
