DescriptionGitHub Advisory
iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools for working with ICC color management profiles. Prior to 2.3.1.5, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in CIccCalculatorFunc::InitSelectOp() triggered with local user interaction causing memory corruption/crash. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.1.5.
Executive ViewAI
A high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in iccDEV color management libraries (CVE-2026-30979, CVSS 7.8) affects systems using versions up to 2.3.1.5 with no available patch. Organizations relying on this software for image processing, document management, or printing workflows face potential remote code execution risk until vendor remediation is released.
Network segmentation of systems running vulnerable iccDEV versions; WAF rules to block malformed ICC profile uploads; disable ICC color profile processing where not critical to operations; restrict file upload permissions and validate ICC profile inputs server-side; monitor iccDEV processes for exploitation attempts; consider application-level sandboxing of color processing tasks. Monitor vendor (Little CMS maintainers) for patch release.

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
