Package : dcmtk
Version : 3.6.5-1+deb11u5
CVE ID : CVE-2020-36855 CVE-2022-4981 CVE-2025-9732
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.
For the detailed security status of dcmtk please refer to
its security tracker page at:
