Intel · Opencv · CVE-2017-18009
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
OpenCV version 3.3.1
Description:
A heap-based buffer over-read exists in the function `cv::HdrDecoder::checkSignature` in `modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt hdr.cpp`. This issue is related to reading beyond the valid boundaries of a data buffer. Exploitation of this issue may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
Recommendations:
For OpenCV version 3.3.1, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `cv::HdrDecoder::checkSignature` function until a patch is available.
