Heap Buffer Overflow in PAM Image Buffer Allocation_CVE-2026-5444

7.1 / 10
HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H

Description

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the PAM image parsing logic. When Orthanc processes a crafted PAM image embedded in a DICOM file, image dimensions are multiplied using 32-bit unsigned arithmetic. Specially chosen values can cause an integer overflow during buffer size calculation, resulting in the allocation of a small buffer followed by a much larger write operation during pixel processing.
