Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Bandiview installation
    Search for Bandiview in the system program files or application directory, or check the Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for Bandiview entry
    Affected if Bandiview is found installed on the system
  2. Identify installed Bandiview version
    Right-click the bandiview.exe file, select Properties, and check the Details tab for Product Version; alternatively, run 'bandiview.exe /?' or check Add/Remove Programs for the version
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 7.0
  3. Verify EXR file association or support
    Check if Bandiview has been used to open EXR files by looking for recent file history in the application, or check if .exr file type is associated with Bandiview in system file associations
    Affected if Bandiview has been configured to handle or has recent history of opening EXR files
  4. Inspect application logs for crash events
    Check Windows Event Viewer Application logs for bandiview.exe crash entries, or look for crash dump files in the Bandiview program directory
    Affected if Recent crashes or exceptions are logged when opening EXR files

A user is affected if Bandiview version 7.0 is installed and the application is used to open or has been used to open EXR image files.
