Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: DCMTK versions 3.6.3 and below

Description: The issue affects the DcmRLEDecoder component, specifically the decompress() function in the dcrledec.h file. It can lead to a buffer overflow, resulting in possible code execution and confirmed Denial of Service. This can occur in various scenarios of DICOM file processing, such as DICOM to image conversion.
