Details
A vulnerability was found in Tesseract up to 5.5.3. It has been classified as critical. Affected is the function ReadAdaptedClass of the file src/classify/adaptive.cpp of the component Adaptive Classifier. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. The impact remains unknown. CVE summarizes:
Tesseract is an open source OCR engine. Prior to 5.5.4, ReadAdaptedClass in src/classify/adaptive.cpp raw-reads an ADAPT_CLASS_STRUCT from a pre-adapted-template .a file without neutralizing TempProtos and Config pointer fields before any destructor path. When the legacy engine is selected, classify_use_pre_adapted_templates is enabled, and an attacker can write the output-basename .a file, the success or rejection path can pass file-controlled pointers to ~ADAPT_CLASS_STRUCT and operator delete, causing memory corruption and denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 5.5.4.
The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-119341 since 10/29/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy.
