Two vulnerabilities have been addressed in DCMTK, a collection of libraries and applications implementing large parts of the DICOM standard for medical images.

CVE-2025-14607

Possible memory corruption caused by illegal attributes in datasets which
are processed by DcmByteString functions.

CVE-2025-14841

Invalid messages sent to dcmqrscp, the Image Central Test Node, may
trigger a segmentation fault due to a NULL pointer being de-referenced.


For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 3.6.4-2.1+deb10u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your dcmtk packages.
