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 stack buffer overflow write in CIccXform3DLut::Apply() corrupting stack memory or crash. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.1.5.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A buffer overflow vulnerability in iccDEV color management libraries affects all versions up to 2.3.1.5, allowing potential remote code execution if your organization processes untrusted ICC color profiles. This poses immediate risk to systems handling document processing, image editing, or graphic design workflows where malicious profiles could be injected.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Restrict file uploads of ICC color profiles at the application and network level; disable ICC profile processing functionality where feasible; implement strict input validation to reject oversized or malformed profile files; isolate affected systems from network access; consider containerization to limit exploit scope; monitor system logs for buffer overflow indicators.

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.
