Debian DSA-5473-1 : orthanc - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 179630

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5473 advisory.

It was discovered that authenticated API users of Orthanc, a DICOM server for medical imaging, could overwrite arbitrary files and in some setups execute arbitrary code. This update backports the option RestApiWriteToFileSystemEnabled, setting it to true in /etc/orthanc/orthanc.json restores the previous behaviour. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.2+really1.9.1+dfsg-1+deb11u1. For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1.10.1+dfsg-2+deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your orthanc packages. For the detailed security status of orthanc please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/orthanc

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the orthanc packages.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1.10.1+dfsg-2+deb12u1.
