Echo: tesseract: security update to 5.5.0-1+e6

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474769

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Tesseract is an open source OCR engine. In version 5.5.3 and earlier, RecodedCharID::DeSerialize in
 src/ccutil/unicharcompress.h validates length_ but accepts negative code_ values from a crafted
 .traineddata recoder component. UnicharCompress::ComputeCodeRange in src/ccutil/unicharcompress.cpp can
 consequently produce code_range_ equal to zero, after which SetupDecoder indexes is_valid_start_ with the
 negative code on a size-zero vector. The resulting out-of-bounds bit write uses a large wrapped index and
 reliably causes a wild-address crash or allocation failure on the default LSTM engine. No fixed release is
 available as of this review. (CVE-2026-88050)

Solution

Update the tesseract library and its related packages to version 5.5.0-1+e6 or later.
