CVE-2017-12601
CVSS v2.0
9.3
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenCV versions through 3.3
Description
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the
cv::BmpDecoder::readData function in modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt bmp.cpp when reading an image file using cv::imread. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is demonstrated by the 4-buf-overflow-readData-memcpy test case.Recommendations
For OpenCV versions through 3.3, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
cv::BmpDecoder::readData function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt bmp.cpp module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the cv::imread function to read image files until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
