Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Merge DICOM Toolkit C/C++ versions ≤5.17.0

Description The issue is related to the use of an externally-controlled format string vulnerability in the Merge DICOM Toolkit C/C++ on Windows. When the MC Open Association() function is used to open a DICOM Association and receives a DICOM Application Context Name with illegal characters, it may result in an unhandled exception. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.

Recommendations For Merge DICOM Toolkit C/C++ versions ≤5.17.0, update to a version higher than 5.17.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the input to the MC Open Association() function to prevent the use of illegal characters in the DICOM Application Context Name.
