AI-suggested
European healthcare organizations using Sante DICOM Viewer Pro 14.1.2.0 should immediately implement compensating controls while awaiting an official patch. These include: 1) Restricting the opening of DICOM files to trusted sources only and implementing strict file validation and scanning for malicious content before use. 2) Enhancing user awareness training to recognize phishing attempts and suspicious files, emphasizing the risk of opening unsolicited DICOM files. 3) Employing application whitelisting and sandboxing techniques to limit the impact of potential code execution within the DICOM viewer process. 4) Monitoring network and host behavior for anomalies indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unusual process activity or memory corruption indicators. 5) Isolating systems running Sante DICOM Viewer Pro from critical network segments to reduce lateral movement risk. 6) Collaborating with the vendor to obtain patches or updates as soon as they become available and testing them promptly before deployment. 7) Reviewing and tightening access controls to limit who can open or import DICOM files in clinical environments.
Description
Sante DICOM Viewer Pro DCM File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Sante DICOM Viewer Pro. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of DCM files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-26168.
