What is CVE-2017-12602?

The OpenCV library, widely used for computer vision applications, is susceptible to a denial of service attack due to a memory consumption issue. This vulnerability can be triggered by the execution of specific test cases, such as the 10-opencv-dos-memory-exhaust, which exhausts memory resources, potentially leading to application crashes and service disruptions. It is critical for developers and organizations using OpenCV to assess their systems and implement necessary mitigations to safeguard against this vulnerability.
