<background>
<p>LittleCMS, or short lcms, is a color management system for working with
ICC profiles. It is used by many applications including GIMP and Firefox.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>Multiple stack-based buffer overflows and a profile parser error have
been found in LittleCMS.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a
specially crafted file containing a malicious ICC profile, possibly
resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All LittleCMS users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/lcms-2.6-r1"
</code>
<p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
</p>
<p>NOTE: Gentoo has discontinued support for the LittleCMS 1.9 branch. </p>
