Software Description:
- openexr: tools for the OpenEXR image format

Details:

USN-4996-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in OpenEXR. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that OpenEXR incorrectly handled certain malformed EXR
 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted EXR image file,
 a remote attacker could cause a denial of service, or possibly execute
 arbitrary code.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 ESM:
  libopenexr22                    2.2.0-10ubuntu2.6+esm1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
