NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dcmtk package and not the dcmtk package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can repeatedly send crafted connection requests to leak memory. In single-process deployments the memory grows until the service is killed and the port stops responding until restart.
