Summary
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to write files, access unauthorized information, exhaust memory, or crash affected DCMTK client or server processes.
Vulnerabilities 5
-
Critical 9.8
OFFIS DCMTK Toolkit Path Traversal
A malicious or compromised server can make a DCMTK client using bit-preserving C-GET storage mode write files outside the chosen output directory, using both relative (../) paths and absolute paths.
-
High 8.2
OFFIS DCMTK Toolkit Path Traversal
An unauthenticated attacker can read worklist records from a directory outside the intended per-AE worklist storage area. In a multi-area deployment, this can cross departmental or clinic data separation.
-
High 7.5
OFFIS DCMTK Toolkit Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
An unauthenticated remote attacker can repeatedly send crafted connection requests to leak memory. In single-process deployments the memory grows until the service is killed and the port stops responding until restart.
-
High 7.5
OFFIS DCMTK Toolkit Type Confusion
An unauthenticated attacker can crash the worklist server with a single crafted query when the server has a valid Called AE Title / storage directory, the expected lockfile, and at least one matching worklist record.
-
High 7.5
OFFIS DCMTK Toolkit Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
An unauthenticated remote attacker can repeatedly send a single crafted connection request to leak memory. Against storescp in its default single-process mode, memory grows quickly and the service is eventually killed, after which it stops accepting connectio…
