The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM / 22.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5882-1 advisory.

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the parsePresentationContext function in storescp in DICOM dcmtk-3.6.0 and     earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a long string sent     to TCP port 4242. (CVE-2015-8979)

  - OFFIS.de DCMTK 3.6.3 and below is affected by: Buffer Overflow. The impact is: Possible code execution and     confirmed Denial of Service. The component is: DcmRLEDecoder::decompress() (file dcrledec.h, line 122).
    The attack vector is: Many scenarios of DICOM file processing (e.g. DICOM to image conversion). The fixed     version is: 3.6.4, after commit 40917614e. (CVE-2019-1010228)

  - DCMTK through 3.6.6 does not handle memory free properly. The program malloc a heap memory for parsing     data, but does not free it when error in parsing. Sending specific requests to the dcmqrdb program incur     the memory leak. An attacker can use it to launch a DoS attack. (CVE-2021-41687)

  - DCMTK through 3.6.6 does not handle memory free properly. The object in the program is free but its     address is still used in other locations. Sending specific requests to the dcmqrdb program will incur a     double free. An attacker can use it to launch a DoS attack. (CVE-2021-41688)

  - DCMTK through 3.6.6 does not handle string copy properly. Sending specific requests to the dcmqrdb     program, it would query its database and copy the result even if the result is null, which can incur a     head-based overflow. An attacker can use it to launch a DoS attack. (CVE-2021-41689)

  - DCMTK through 3.6.6 does not handle memory free properly. The malloced memory for storing all file     information are recorded in a global variable LST and are not freed properly. Sending specific requests to     the dcmqrdb program can incur a memory leak. An attacker can use it to launch a DoS attack.
    (CVE-2021-41690)

  - OFFIS DCMTK's (All versions prior to 3.6.7) service class provider (SCP) is vulnerable to path traversal,     allowing an attacker to write DICOM files into arbitrary directories under controlled names. This could     allow remote code execution. (CVE-2022-2119)

  - OFFIS DCMTK's (All versions prior to 3.6.7) service class user (SCU) is vulnerable to relative path     traversal, allowing an attacker to write DICOM files into arbitrary directories under controlled names.
    This could allow remote code execution. (CVE-2022-2120)

  - OFFIS DCMTK's (All versions prior to 3.6.7) has a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability while processing     DICOM files, which may result in a denial-of-service condition. (CVE-2022-2121)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
