Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research found an insufficient input sanitation in the way DevIL image library used to process Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images. If a remote attacker could trick a local user to process a specially-crafted DICOM image in an application, using the DevIL image processing library, it could lead to stack-based buffer overflow and denial of service (application crash).
