DICOM Drama: Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerability Crashes the Party!
Grassroots’ DICOM library has sprung a leak, exposing an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. Opening a malicious DICOM file could crash the application faster than you can say “pixel data.” With a CVSS v4 score of 6.8, it’s time to update to v3.2.2 or later. Stay secure and keep your DICOM files drama-free!
Hot Take:
Ah, the Grassroots DICOM vulnerability! It’s like finding out your supposedly secure medical imaging files have the stability of a Jenga tower in a windstorm. But fear not, the digital doctors are on the case, prescribing a heavy dose of updates and firewalls to keep those pixelated patients safe from getting their bits scrambled.
