    Debian Bug     : 1113993

    Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in DCMTK, a collection of
    libraries and applications implementing large parts of the DICOM standard
    for medical images.

    CVE-2025-9732

        Processing of an invalid DICOM image with a Photometric
        Interpretation of YBR_FULL and a Planar Configuration of 1 where
        the number of pixels stored does not match the expected number of pixels.
        This may lead to memory corruption.

    CVE-2022-4981

        Various issues in the dcmqrscp configuration file parser that could cause
        application crashes when reading a malformed configuration file, due to
        insufficient checks of the input data.

    CVE-2020-36855

        Stack-based overflow in the dcmqrscp config parser.


    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    3.6.5-1+deb11u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your dcmtk packages.
