Description Pedro Sampaio 2020-01-11 15:03:17 UTC

An exploitable heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the data structure
persistence functionality of OpenCV 4.1.0. A specially crafted XML file can
cause a buffer overflow, resulting in multiple heap corruptions and potential
code execution. An attacker can provide a specially crafted file to trigger this
vulnerability.

Comment 3 Mauro Matteo Cascella 2020-04-20 13:08:20 UTC

Mitigation:

Avoid loading OpenCV data structures from external untrusted XML files.

Comment 5 Mauro Matteo Cascella 2020-04-20 13:23:46 UTC

Statement:

This flaw did not affect the versions of OpenCV as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, and 8, as they did not include the vulnerable code, which was introduced in a later version of the library.
