It allows an attacker to cause high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability without requiring privileges or user interaction.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-22373 is a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the JPEG2000Codec::DecodeByStreamsCommon function of Mathieu Malaterre Grassroot DICOM version 3.0.23. The flaw arises from an out-of-bounds write when processing specially crafted DICOM files. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write). The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1, indicating high severity, with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to a heap buffer overflow, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code, crash the application, or cause denial of service. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, avoid processing untrusted or unauthenticated DICOM files with the affected version. Monitor vendor channels for updates regarding fixes.
