imageproc: integer overflow in kernel size check leads to out-of-bounds read
Real-World Exposure

Description
A bounds verification of a slice storage of a 2-dimensional matrix's coefficients (a kernel) would compare the total size against the product of individual dimensions. This would erroneously cast after the multiplication and consequently fail to detect possible violations when overflow occurs.
Afterwards, the individual sizes were trusted to properly constrain coordinates within the matrix to indices valid for the underlying storage. With a crafted Kernel object, certain combinations of coordinates could then cause an out-of-bounds access in an unsafe function while fulfilling its documented preconditions. The kernel value could be passed to library functions that trusted the preconditions and then performed such reads.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for imageproc, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update imageproc to 0.23.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-w5p8-4jcx-2j6r is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-w5p8-4jcx-2j6r can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-w5p8-4jcx-2j6r. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
