Overview

OpenCV is an OpenCV (Computer Vision) for iOS

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write. OpenCV is vulnerable to out-of-bounds write. An incomplete fix of CVE-2017-12597 causes the out-of-bounds write when cv::imread is used to input an image into the FillColorRow1() function in utils.cpp, leading to a segmentation fault. Using this flaw, attackers can trigger remote code execution (RCE) attacks or denial of service (DoS) attacks.
