Description
Hi maintainers,
I’ve detected that the PyPI package opencv-python-4.11.0.86 includes a binary dependency (opencv_python.libs/libgfortran-91cc3cb1.so.3.0.0), which is vulnerable to CVE-2014-5044.
CVE Details:
- Description: Multiple integer overflows in libgfortran might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (Fortran application crash) via vectors related to array allocation.
- Affected versions:
libgfortran < 4.8 - More info:
Recommended Action:
Please consider upgrade libgfortran to 4.8 or later to mitigate the vulnerability. This will help downstream users avoid potential security issues caused by the bundled vulnerable binary.
Thanks!
