LittleCMS: Denial of Service Multiple buffer overflow flaws and a parser error in LittleCMS could cause Denial of Service. lcms 2014-12-26 2014-12-26 479874 507788 remote 2.6-r1 2.6-r1

LittleCMS, or short lcms, is a color management system for working with ICC profiles. It is used by many applications including GIMP and Firefox.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows and a profile parser error have been found in LittleCMS.

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.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All LittleCMS users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/lcms-2.6-r1"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.

NOTE: Gentoo has discontinued support for the LittleCMS 1.9 branch.
