What is CVE-2024-24793?

A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the DICOM Element Parsing implemented in Imaging Data Commons libdicom version 1.0.5. This vulnerability arises when the application processes a specially crafted DICOM file, leading to premature memory deallocation that can be exploited by an attacker. The vulnerability is triggered through the parse_meta_element_create() function during the parsing of the File Meta Information header. If successfully exploited, this could result in unpredictable behavior of the vulnerable application, potentially allowing for further malicious actions.
