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.
