CVE-2019-5063

Published: 3 January 2020

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.

Notes

AuthorNote
ccdm94
in bionic and earlier, functions fixed by commit are in
file modules/core/src/persistence.cpp instead of the ones
presented in the upstream patch. However, upstream
reports that versions 3.4.8 and older are not affected,
due to code refactoring. See: https://github.com/opencv/
opencv/issues/15857.
