Description
A flaw was found in Tesseract. The application is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) caused by memory corruption when processing pre-adapted template files with the legacy engine enabled. This issue occurs because raw data structures are loaded from template files without safely neutralizing internal pointer references before memory cleanup. An attacker who can supply or modify a template file can trigger the deallocation of arbitrary memory pointers, causing the application to crash.
