Description

WriteUHDRImage in coders/uhdr.c uses int arithmetic to compute the pixel buffer size. When image dimensions are large, the multiplication overflows 32-bit int, causing an undersized heap allocation followed by an out-of-bounds write. This can crash the process or potentially lead to an out of bounds heap write.
