Comment (by diabonas):

 Personally, I would consider a potentially incomplete fix for a security
 issue a bug, not a support request...

 I am somewhat confused: if oss-fuzz issue 26532 was never present on the
 FFmpeg 4.3 branch, then why was commit
 3e5959b3457f7f1856d997261e6ac672bba49e8b ("avcodec/exr: Check ymin vs. h")
 explicitly backported to FFmpeg 4.3.2 at all, and why not in combination
 with commit b0a8b40294ea212c1938348ff112ef1b9bf16bb3 ("avcodec/exr: skip
 bottom clearing loop when its outside the image")?

 My worry is that the issue could still be present in FFmpeg 4.3.2 and
 might just require a slightly different reproducer there: after all, the
 earliest release that commit 3e5959b3457f7f1856d997261e6ac672bba49e8b has
 been backported to is 4.3.2, so even if that commit is enough to fix the
 issue, the problem should still be reproducible in FFmpeg 4.3.1 somehow.
 If it isn't reproducible in version 4.3.1 as well, this would mean one of
 two things:

 1. The bug was never present on the 4.3 branch to begin with (the good
 case), or
 2. The reproducer doesn't apply to the 4.3 branch and the issue might only
 be partially fixed (less great).
