      "value": "A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the DICOM image decoder. Dimension fields are encoded using Value Representation (VR) Unsigned Long (UL), instead of the expected VR Unsigned Short (US), which allows extremely large dimensions to be processed. This causes an integer overflow during frame size calculation and results in out-of-bounds memory access during image decoding."

    {
      "lang": "es",
      "value": "Existe una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer de montón en el decodificador de imágenes DICOM. Los campos de dimensión están codificados utilizando Representación de Valor (VR) Entero Largo Sin Signo (UL), en lugar de la esperada VR Entero Corto Sin Signo (US), lo que permite que se procesen dimensiones extremadamente grandes. Esto provoca un desbordamiento de entero durante el cálculo del tamaño del fotograma y da como resultado un acceso a memoria fuera de límites durante la decodificación de la imagen."
