Tracker summary

CVE-2026-5440 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (orthanc), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): open 3, resolved 2.

Description:

A memory exhaustion vulnerability exists in the HTTP server due to unbounded use of the `Content-Length` header. The server allocates memory directly based on the attacker supplied header value without enforcing an upper limit. A crafted HTTP request containing an extremely large `Content-Length` value can trigger excessive memory allocation and server termination, even without sending a request body.
