Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Vulnerable component is OFFIS DCMTK's Service Class User (SCU); monitor for DICOM file writes to unexpected or arbitrary directories, which may indicate path traversal exploitation ↗
- →Flag any DICOM file (.dcm) written outside of expected/designated DICOM storage directories, especially with attacker-controlled filenames containing path traversal sequences (e.g., '../') ↗
- →Exploitation could lead to remote code execution; monitor DCMTK SCU processes for unexpected child process spawning or code execution following DICOM file receipt ↗
- ·All DCMTK versions prior to 3.6.7 are vulnerable; patch to 3.6.7 or later (Debian: 3.6.7-6 for bookworm/sid/trixie/forky, 3.6.5-1+deb11u4 for bullseye) ↗
- ·Debian scope is listed as 'local', which may affect risk prioritization in Debian-based deployments despite the CVE describing a network-reachable SCU attack surface ↗

CVE-2021-41689 [HIGH] DCMTK vulnerabilities
Title: DCMTK vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in DCMTK.
Gjoko Krstic discovered that DCMTK incorrectly handled buffers. If a user or
an automated system were tricked into opening a certain specially crafted
input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8979)
Omar Ganiev discovered that DCMTK incorrectly handled buffers. If a user or
an automated system were tricked into opening a certain specially crafted
input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-1010228)
