Root Cause Analysis
- The CVE description explicitly names FillColorRow1 in utils.cpp as the vulnerable function.
- The GitHub issue #9443 shows a Valgrind trace pointing to FillColorRow1 with an invalid write operation during BMP decoding.
- The fix in pull request #9448 targets the BMP decoder's color handling logic, which aligns with the function's role in palette-based image processing.
- Multiple advisories (Debian, Gentoo) reference this CVE in the context of OpenCV's image decoding path, corroborating the function's involvement.
