EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

CImg Library is a C++ library for image processing. Prior to version 4.0.0 in _load_analyze(), the header_size field is read as an unsigned int from the first 4 bytes of an Analyze/NIfTI file and passed directly to new unsigned char[header_size] without being bounded against the actual file size. A value up to ~4 GB is accepted. If the subsequent fread returns short as it will for any malformed file), the function throws a CImgIOException and the allocated buffer is never freed. A 6-byte crafted file is sufficient to trigger an allocation of ~1.3 GB per call, with the full allocation leaked on every error path. The issue is reachable via load_analyze() and the generic load() when the file extension is .hdr, .img, or .nii. Version 4.0.0 fixes the issue.
