    descriptionThis update for opencv fixes the following issues : Security issues fixed : - CVE-2016-1516: OpenCV had a double free issue that allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code. (boo#1033152) - CVE-2017-14136: OpenCV had an out-of-bounds write error in the function FillColorRow1 in utils.cpp when reading an image file by using cv::imread. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-12597. (boo#1057146) - CVE-2017-12606: OpenCV had an out-of-bounds write error in the function FillColorRow4 in utils.cpp when reading an image file by using cv::imread. (boo#1052451) - CVE-2017-12604: OpenCV had an out-of-bounds write error in the FillUniColor function in utils.cpp when reading an image file by using cv::imread. (boo#1052454) - CVE-2017-12603: OpenCV had an invalid write in the cv::RLByteStream::getBytes function in modules/imgcodecs/src/bitstrm.cpp when reading an image file by using cv::imread, as demonstrated by the 2-opencv-heapoverflow-fseek test case. (boo#1052455) - CVE-2017-12602: OpenCV had a denial of service (memory consumption) issue, as demonstrated by the 10-opencv-dos-memory-exhaust test case. (boo#1052456) - CVE-2017-12601: OpenCV had a buffer overflow in the cv::BmpDecoder::readData function in modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt_bmp.cpp when reading an image file by using cv::imread, as demonstrated by the 4-buf-overflow-readData-memcpy test case. (boo#1052457) - CVE-2017-12600: OpenCV had a denial of service (CPU consumption) issue, as demonstrated by the 11-opencv-dos-cpu-exhaust test case.

(boo#1052462) - CVE-2017-12597: OpenCV had an out-of-bounds write error in the function FillColorRow1 in utils.cpp when reading an image file by using cv::imread. (boo#1052465) - CVE-2017-12864: In opencv/modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt_pxm.cpp, function ReadNumber did not checkout the input length, which lead to integer overflow. If the image is from remote, may lead to remote code execution or denial of service. (boo#1054019) - CVE-2017-12863: In opencv/modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt_pxm.cpp, function PxMDecoder::readData has an integer overflow when calculate src_pitch. If the image is from remote, may lead to remote code execution or denial of service. (boo#1054020) - CVE-2017-12862: In modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt_pxm.cpp, the length of buffer AutoBuffer _src is small than expected, which will cause copy buffer overflow later. If the image is from remote, may lead to remote code execution or denial of service.
