Summary

nifti_clib through 3.0.1 contains a stack-based out-of-bounds read and write vulnerability in nifti_convert_n2hdr2nim() because the NIfTI-2 dim[0] value is never range-checked. Attackers can supply a crafted 540-byte NIfTI-2 header read via nifti_image_read() to crash applications or corrupt stack memory.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can lead to remote crashes of applications processing medical images and, in extreme cases, code execution through stack corruption.

Recommendation

Upgrade nifti_clib beyond version 3.0.1 and validate the dim[0] value in NIfTI-2 headers before processing.
