# CVE-2026-88051

## Summary

- **CVE ID:** CVE-2026-88051
- **Severity:** HIGH
- **CVSS Score:** 8.6 (CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N)
- **CWE:** CWE-787
- **Published:** Sep 10, 2026
- **Last Modified:** Sep 10, 2026

## 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.
