Description

PydicomReader._get_affine builds the affine matrix from DICOM PixelSpacing, ImagePositionPatient, and ImageOrientationPatient values with no finite check. A crafted DICOM carrying NaN/inf in those DS tags produces a corrupted affine that propagates through spatial transforms and crashes MONAILabel inference or silently corrupts results.

Validate all affine inputs with math.isfinite() and raise ValueError naming the offending tag before building the matrix (GHSA-6hp3-vr39-rqw8).

Types of changes

  • Non-breaking change
  • Breaking change (non-finite DICOM geometry now raises instead of silently proceeding)
  • New tests added to cover the changes.

Validate ImageOrientationPatient, ImagePositionPatient, PixelSpacing and
lastImagePositionPatient values with math.isfinite before building the affine
matrix, raising ValueError on NaN/inf instead of propagating corrupted geometry
(GHSA-6hp3-vr39-rqw8).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PydicomReader._get_affine now validates grouped DICOM geometry values and rejects non-finite values in the composed affine matrix. Tests cover invalid spacing, position, orientation, last-slice position, arithmetic overflow, and valid affine translation.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 04cbf

The reader now rejects non-finite DICOM geometry and overflowed affine matrices before spatial transforms can consume corrupted coordinates. Regression coverage includes the newly handled failure paths, with no current merge-blocking product risk identified.

Cover every new finite-value validation branch.

The tests cover PixelSpacing and ImagePositionPatient, but not ImageOrientationPatient, derived metadata["spacing"], or lastImagePositionPatient. Add focused invalid-value cases for those paths and a 3D valid case.

As per path instructions: new or modified definitions must be covered by existing or new unit tests.

Add the required Google-style documentation to the new definitions.

The new helper and test methods lack docstrings. PydicomReader._get_affine also has an undocumented ValueError path.

  • monai/data/image_reader.py#L757-L762: document _raise_if_not_finite arguments and exception, and update _get_affine with Returns and Raises.
  • tests/data/test_pydicom_reader.py#L42-L42: document the non-finite pixel-spacing test.
  • tests/data/test_pydicom_reader.py#L52-L52: document the non-finite image-position test.
  • tests/data/test_pydicom_reader.py#L62-L62: document the finite-affine test.

As per path instructions: docstrings should be present for all definitions and describe variables, return values, and raised exceptions in Google-style sections.
