CVE-2026-5444 PUBLISHED

Heap Buffer Overflow in PAM Image Buffer Allocation

Assigner: certcc
Reserved: 02.04.2026 Published: 09.04.2026 Updated: 09.04.2026

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.
