Summary

[none]

Details

Tesseract is an open source OCR engine. In version 5.5.3 and earlier, Classify::ReadNormProtos in src/classify/normmatch.cpp parses the NORMPROTO component of a .traineddata file and uses std::istream::operator>>(char*) to extract a whitespace-delimited token into a fixed 61-byte stack buffer without setting a stream width. The 100-byte line buffer can carry a token of up to 99 characters, so a token longer than 60 characters writes up to 39 attacker-controlled bytes past the buffer during TessBaseAPI::Init of the legacy engine, causing stack corruption, denial of service, and potentially control-flow hijacking on affected standard-library implementations. Builds using Apple's libc++ C++20 bounded array overload are incidentally protected, while typical libstdc++ builds remain affected. No fixed release is available as of this review.
