  <description>
    <p>It was discovered that LittleCMS (aka Little Color Management System)
      had an integer overflow in the AllocateDataSet function in cmscgats.c.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a
      specially crafted file containing malicious color data, possibly
      resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
      process or 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-2.10"
    </code>
