Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple buffer overflow flaws and a parser error in LittleCMS could |
19 |
cause Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
LittleCMS, or short lcms, is a color management system for working with |
25 |
ICC profiles. It is used by many applications including GIMP and |
26 |
Firefox. |

Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows and a profile parser error have |
40 |
been found in LittleCMS. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a |
46 |
specially crafted file containing a malicious ICC profile, possibly |
47 |
resulting in a Denial of Service condition. |
48 |
|
49 |
Workaround |
50 |
========== |
51 |
|
52 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
53 |
|
54 |
Resolution |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
All LittleCMS users should upgrade to the latest version: |
58 |
|
59 |
# emerge --sync |
60 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/lcms-2.6-r1" |
61 |
|
62 |
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools |
63 |
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages. |
64 |
|
65 |
NOTE: Gentoo has discontinued support for the LittleCMS 1.9 branch. |
