An improper array index validation vulnerability exists in the nowindow functionality of OFFIS DCMTK 3.6.8. A specially crafted DICOM file can lead to an out-of-bounds write. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

An improper array index validation vulnerability exists in the determineMinMax functionality of OFFIS DCMTK 3.6.8. A specially crafted DICOM file can lead to an out-of-bounds write. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in DCMTK v.3.6.8 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via the EctEnhancedCT method component.

DCMTK through 3.6.6 does not handle memory free properly. The object in the program is free but its address is still used in other locations. Sending specific requests to the dcmqrdb program will incur a double free. An attacker can use it to launch a DoS attack.

DCMTK through 3.6.6 does not handle string copy properly. Sending specific requests to the dcmqrdb program, it would query its database and copy the result even if the result is null, which can incur a head-based overflow. An attacker can use it to launch a DoS attack.

DCMTK through 3.6.6 does not handle memory free properly. The program malloc a heap memory for parsing data, but does not free it when error in parsing. Sending specific requests to the dcmqrdb program incur the memory leak. An attacker can use it to launch a DoS attack.

DCMTK through 3.6.6 does not handle memory free properly. The malloced memory for storing all file information are recorded in a global variable LST and are not freed properly. Sending specific requests to the dcmqrdb program can incur a memory leak. An attacker can use it to launch a DoS attack.

DCMTK v3.6.7 was discovered to contain a memory leak via the TASCAssociation object.

At several places in the code a wrong length of ACSE data structures received over the network can cause overflows or underflows when processing those data structures. Related checks have been added at various places in order to prevent such (possible) attacks. The bug will affect all DCMTK-based server applications that accept incoming DICOM network connections.

According to the reports only <= 3.6.0 versions are affected.
