#
# Horos 2.1.0 DICOM Medical Image Viewer Remote Memory Overflow Vulnerability
#
#
# Vendor: Horos Project
# Product web page: https://www.horosproject.org
# Affected version: 2.1.0
#
# Summary: Horos™ is an open-source, free medical image viewer. The goal of the Horos Project is
# to develop a fully functional, 64-bit medical image viewer for OS X. Horos is based upon OsiriX
# and other open source medical imaging libraries.
#
# Desc: The vulnerability is caused due to the usage of vulnerable collection of libraries that
# are part of DCMTK Toolkit, specifically the parser for the DICOM Upper Layer Protocol or DUL.
# Stack/Heap Buffer overflow/underflow can be triggered when sending and processing wrong length
# of ACSE data structure received over the network by the DICOM Store-SCP service. An attacker can
# overflow the stack and the heap of the process when sending large array of bytes to the presentation
# context item length segment of the DICOM standard, potentially resulting in remote code execution
# and/or denial of service scenario.
#
# Tested on: OS X 10.12.2 (Sierra)
#            OS X 10.12.1 (Sierra)

# Vulnerability discovered by Gjoko 'LiquidWorm' Krstic
