4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools for working with ICC color management profiles. Versions 2.3.1 and below have a Heap-based Buffer Overflow in its CIccMBB::Validate function which checks tag data validity. This issue is fixed in version 2.3.1.1.
AnalysisAI
Heap buffer overflow in iccDEV versions 2.3.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or crash the application through malformed ICC color profile data processed by the CIccMBB::Validate function. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, which affects all users handling untrusted color profiles. Upgrade to version 2.3.1.1 or later to remediate.
Technical ContextAI
Classified as CWE-122 (Heap-based Buffer Overflow). Affects Iccdev. iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools for working with ICC color management profiles. Versions 2.3.1 and below have a Heap-based Buffer Overflow in its CIccMBB::Validate function which checks tag data validity. This issue is fixed in version 2.3.1.1.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Fixed in version 2.3.1.1.. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, and stack canaries where possible. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.
