Summary
J4Care dcm4chee-arc-light versions from 5.35.1 before 5.35.2 are affected. The MultipartInputStream class uses inefficient boundary matching and unnecessary buffer copying, which is CWE-407. A remote attacker without privileges or user interaction can send crafted multipart input that forces excessive boundary comparisons and repeated copying, degrading availability.
