USN-8882-1: Tesseract vulnerabilities

It was discovered that Tesseract incorrectly handled crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Tesseract to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-73067) It was discovered that Tesseract did not properly validate dimensions in crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-73066) It was discovered that Tesseract did not properly limit token lengths in crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-88047) It was discovered that Tesseract did not properly validate layer dimensions in crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-88048) It was discovered that Tesseract did not properly validate layer sizes in crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-88049) It was discovered that Tesseract incorrectly handled negative character codes in crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Tesseract to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-88050) It was discovered that Tesseract did not properly validate vector sizes in crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-88051) It was discovered that Tesseract did not properly validate character IDs in crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-88052) It was discovered that Tesseract did not properly validate classifier counts in crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-88053) It was discovered that Tesseract incorrectly handled empty network layers in crafted .traineddata models. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Tesseract to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-88054)

About

Kenya Education Network CERT(KENET-CERT) is a Cybersecurity Emergency Response Team and Co-ordination Center operated by the National Research and Education Network of Kenya. KENET-CERT coordination center promotes awareness on cybersecurity incidences as well as coordinates and assists member institutions in responding effectively to cyber security threats and incidences. KENET-CERT works closely with Kenya's National CIRT coordination center (CIRT/CC) as a sector CIRT for the academic institutions. KENET promotes use of ICT in Teaching, Learning and Research in Higher Education Institutions in Kenya. KENET aims to interconnect all the Universities, Tertiary and Research Institutions in Kenya by setting up a cost effective and sustainable private network with high speed access to the global Internet. KENET also facilitates electronic communication among students and faculties in member institutions, share learning and teaching resources by collaboration in Research and Development of Educational content.
