Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion') via the worklist server process. An attacker can cause the server to crash by sending a specially crafted query when the server is configured with a valid Called AE Title, storage directory, the expected lockfile, and at least one matching worklist record. This is only exploitable if all these configuration conditions are met.
