    This flaw highlights how a seemingly benign codec parsing bug can escalate to remote code execution when processing crafted pixel data. It underscores the critical need for strict input validation in media pipelines, especially on NAS appliances where user privileges often grant access to the entire system.

    Neat. Maybe this will open up locked-down devices.
