GHSA-G69C-6PFV-54P9

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-09 15:35 – Updated: 2026-04-14 18:30

Details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the DecodeLookupTable function within DicomImageDecoder.cpp. The lookup-table decoding logic used for PALETTE COLOR images does not validate pixel indices against the lookup table size. Crafted images containing indices larger than the palette size cause the decoder to read beyond allocated lookup table memory and expose heap contents in the output image.

Severity

9.1 (Critical)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
