Summary

It was discovered that authenticated API users of Orthanc, a DICOM server
for medical imaging, could overwrite arbitrary files and in some setups

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.
