What is CVE-2017-12864?

A vulnerability exists in the OpenCV image processing library where the function ReadNumber in the file grfmt_pxm.cpp fails to properly check the input length. This oversight can lead to integer overflow situations. When an attacker supplies a specially crafted image from a remote location, this defect could allow for remote code execution or cause denial of service. Users of OpenCV 3.3 and earlier versions should be aware of this issue and apply necessary security updates.
