What is CVE-2018-7712?

The validateInputImageSize function in OpenCV version 3.4.1 contains a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service by exploiting an assertion failure. When checking if the image height is less than or equal to 1MB (1<<20), a false condition can lead to unexpected behavior, potentially crashing the application. This occurs due to the mismanagement of invalid or unsupported parameters within the function.
