dcmdata in DCMTK before 3.6.9 has a segmentation fault via an invalid DIMSE message.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0211 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2022-43272:
    DCMTK v3.6.7 was discovered to contain a memory leak via the T_ASC_Association object.

    CVE-2024-47796:
    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.

    CVE-2025-25472:
    A buffer overflow in DCMTK git master v3.6.9+ DEV allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via     a crafted DCM file.

    CVE-2025-25474:
    DCMTK v3.6.9+ DEV was discovered to contain a buffer overflow via the component /dcmimgle/diinpxt.h.

    CVE-2024-52333:
    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.

    CVE-2024-34509:
    dcmdata in DCMTK before 3.6.9 has a segmentation fault via an invalid DIMSE message.

    CVE-2024-34508:
    dcmnet in DCMTK before 3.6.9 has a segmentation fault via an invalid DIMSE message.

    CVE-2025-25475:
    A NULL pointer dereference in the component /libsrc/dcrleccd.cc of DCMTK v3.6.9+ DEV allows attackers to     cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted DICOM file.
