CVE-2026-88051

High

Description

Tesseract is an open source OCR engine. In version 5.5.3 and earlier, the callback form of GenericVector::read in src/ccutil/genericvector.h reads the independent int32 fields reserved and size_used_ from a .traineddata model without a cap or an invariant check. reserve(reserved) allocates the backing array, but the callback loop writes size_used_ elements. A crafted TESSDATA_INTTEMP component with version_id 4 or later can therefore set reserved to a small value and size_used_ to a large value when fontinfo_table_.read(fp, read_info) is called from src/classify/intproto.cpp, causing a heap out-of-bounds write of FontInfo structures, heap corruption, a crash, or potentially controlled corruption. No fixed release is available as of this review.
