Segfault with certain language packs on certain images

[cchadowitz]

Current Behavior

When running the tesseract binary with specific language packs enabled, the binary segfaults (different places for different combinations).

1. Using the chi_sim and the mrz language packs together for this input image:

Similar to #4148 (but crash on the different place):

1. You should be able to demonstrate a problem with official data only, and it looks like you use custom-generated languages (mrz, ocrb_int).

[stweil]

@cchadowitz, please provide sample_012631.jpg, mrz.traineddata and ocrb_int.traineddata. Those files are needed to reproduce the issue.

[zdenop]

@stweil : seems like ocrb_int is @Shreeshrii training from https://github.com/Shreeshrii/tessdata_ocrb and mrz is from https://github.com/DoubangoTelecom/tesseractMRZ

[stweil]

I can reproduce one of the segmentation faults:

tesseract sample_000111.jpg - -l tessdata_fast/eng+tessdata_fast/ara+ocrb_int
Estimating resolution as 975
Speicherzugriffsfehler

The segmentation fault does not occur with eng and ara from tessdata_best or tessdata.

But I got another issue with a non-existing 2nd language model:

tesseract sample_000111.jpg - -l ara+orcb_int
Error: LSTM requested, but not present!! Loading tesseract.

[cchadowitz]

Thanks for taking a look!

@stweil looks like you were able to reproduce, but just fyi the images I referenced are the same as the attached ones (Github just changed the filenames). I shared the example run after the image for each example, so the first image is the referenced sample_012631.jpg and the second is sample_000111.jpg. And @zdenop was correct with the sources of the language packs (originally I found them from https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Data-Files-Contributions.html)

Anyways, let me know if I can provide anything else in the meantime.

[farfromrefug]

I am getting a lot of reports of crashes in recog_all_words (android app). I am trying to get better reports with exact call-stack .

[marcreichman-pfi]

@stweil are you able to reproduce the segfaults from this and from #4148 against 5.3.4 or current code? We tested against the Ubuntu 24.04-distributed 5.3.4 and it doesn't seem like we can anymore. However, I cannot seem to figure out what in the branch diffs would have changed this. If you have a moment to over it I'd love to know your thoughts.

[stweil]

This bug still occurs with the latest code from the main branch. It should be fixed before the next release is tagged.
