CVE-2026-5441

HIGH

Out-of-Bounds Read in DicomImageDecoder (PMSCT_RLE1 Decompression)

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the `DecodePsmctRle1` function of `DicomImageDecoder.cpp`. The `PMSCT_RLE1` decompression routine, which decodes the proprietary Philips Compression format, does not properly validate escape markers placed near the end of the compressed data stream. A crafted sequence at the end of the buffer can cause the decoder to read beyond the allocated memory region and leak heap data into the rendered image output.
