CVE-2017-12601: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow')

October 12, 2021 (updated December 1, 2021)

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) has 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.
