MEDIUM OFFIS CVE published 2026-10-08

CVE-2026-44038

A global out-of-bounds read in the Huffman decoder of the bundled IJG JPEG libraries of OFFIS DCMTK 3.7.0 allows an attacker to read memory beyond the extend_test[] and extend_offset[] tables, causing incorrectly decoded pixel data or a crash, via a DICOM file with a crafted JPEG stream whose Huffman table defines a difference category above 15. This issue can lead to potential crashes or incorrect pixel [truncated]

CVE-2026-44035

A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in DCMTK 3.7.0 due to uncontrolled recursion in DICOMDIR parsing. This issue allows an attacker to cause a stack exhaustion and process crash via a crafted DICOMDIR file. The vulnerability is caused by the DcmDicomDir::moveRecordToTree() function in dcmdata/libsrc/dcdicdir.cc, which does not properly handle deeply chained sequences of directory records linked throu [truncated]

CVE-2026-44034

A heap-based out-of-bounds read in DcmRLECodecDecoder::decodeFrame() in DCMTK 3.7.0 allows an attacker to read up to 63 bytes of adjacent heap memory, or cause a crash, via a crafted RLE Lossless DICOM file. Applications that decode RLE images frame by frame are affected. The issue is fixed in commit 45469f3c30037e9c7159290e4bb74cd7b3b9ef1d. This vulnerability has a medium severity level and can lead to d [truncated]

CVE-2026-44033

A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in OFFIS DCMTK 3.7.0 due to uncontrolled recursion in the bundled XML parser. This issue allows an attacker to cause a stack exhaustion and process crash via a crafted XML document with deeply nested elements. The vulnerability is reachable through dcmencap when encapsulating a CDA document, and through any application that calls OFXMLParser::parseFile() or OFXMLPa [truncated]

HIGH OFFIS CVE published 2026-10-08

CVE-2026-44031

A vulnerability in the DCMTK DICOM dataset parser allows unauthenticated remote denial of service via deeply nested sequences in a DICOM dataset. The issue is fixed in a commit that adds a configurable sequence nesting depth limit. This vulnerability affects systems using DCMTK for DICOM data processing, particularly in medical imaging and healthcare environments. Defenders should assess exposure and prio [truncated]
