Debian Security Advisory DSA-3749-1 security@debian.org
https://www.debian.org/security/ Sebastien Delafond
December 29, 2016 https://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : dcmtk
CVE ID : CVE-2015-8979
Debian Bug : 848830
Gjoko Krstic of Zero Science Labs discovered that dcmtk, a collection
of libraries implementing the DICOM standard, did not properly handle
the size of data received the network. This could lead to
denial-of-service (via application crash) or arbitrary code execution.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.6.0-15+deb8u1.
For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, this
problem has been fixed in version 3.6.1~20160216-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your dcmtk packages.
