Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in OpenCV up to 3.3 (Image Processing Software). Affected is the function ReadNumber of the file opencv/modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt_pxm.cpp. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

In opencv/modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt_pxm.cpp, function ReadNumber did not checkout the input length, which lead to integer overflow. If the image is from remote, may lead to remote code execution or denial of service. This affects Opencv 3.3 and earlier.

The bug was discovered 08/15/2017. The weakness was disclosed 08/15/2017 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2017-12864 since 08/15/2017. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available.
