+Subject: Fixed unchecked typecasts of DcmItem::search results.
+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/1070207
+Forwarded: not-needed
+
+DcmItem::search() returns a stack of DcmObject pointers as search results.
+These pointers in most instances need to be casted to DcmItem, DcmElement
+or a subclass of these. In many cases, the type of the object was not
+properly checked before the typecast. This could lead to segmentation faults
+when invalid DICOM datasets were processed where elements had the wrong
+value representation.

+From: Marco Eichelberg <dicom at offis.de>
+Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2024 12:19:33 +0200
+Subject: Fixed unchecked typecasts and fixed LUT handling.
+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/1070207
+Forwarded: not-needed
+
+This commit adds further fixes for unchecked typecasts of DcmItem::search()
+results (see description of previous commit). Furthermore, this commit
+specifically addresses the handling of look-up tables (LUTs) in module
+dcmpstat, where attribute (0028,3006) LUTData may use either US or OW
+value representation, and (0028,3002) LUTDescriptor may be either US or SS.
+The code should now properly handle all permitted value representations.
+LUTData is now always written as OW in order to avoid the 64k size limit
+for US in explicit VR encoding.
+
+Thanks to Martin Zeiser from the Cisco Talos team
+<vulndiscovery at external.cisco.com> for the bug report (TALOS-2024-1957).
+
+Together with the previous commit, this closes DCMTK issue #1120.

+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/1070207
+Forwarded: not-needed
+
+Fixed two segmentations faults that could occur while processing an
+invalid incoming DIMSE message due to insufficient error handling
+causing a de-referenced NULL pointer.
+
+Thanks to Nils Bars <nils.bars at rub.de> for the bug report and sample files.
+
+This closes DCMTK issue #1114.
