Summary

nifti_clib through 3.0.1 by NIFTI-Imaging has a stack-based out-of-bounds read and write in nifti_convert_n2hdr2nim(), because the NIfTI-2 dim[0] value is never range-checked (CWE-787). An attacker who supplies a crafted 540-byte NIfTI-2 header read through nifti_image_read() can crash applications or corrupt stack memory.
