Impact

CVSS score of 6.2 with AV:L (local attack vector) and AC:L (low complexity) indicates the vulnerability is easily exploitable by a local user with file placement capability, but requires local system access-not remote exploitability. CVSS correctly assigns zero to Confidentiality and Integrity impacts, focusing impact on Availability (high). However, the practical risk is constrained: exploitation requires a user to run iccTiffDump against a malicious TIFF file, making this a denial-of-service vulnerability rather than a critical system compromise vector. The absence of KEV status and public exploit code at time of analysis suggests low active exploitation despite public disclosure via GitHub. Patch availability (version 2.3.1.6) and upstream PR/commit references (GitHub issue #719, PR #723) indicate vendor responsiveness. For organizations using iccDEV in batch processing, automated test suites, or untrusted input pipelines, the availability impact warrants prompt patching; for others, priority is lower.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with local file system access places a crafted TIFF file on a shared system and monitors for batch processing jobs or automated workflows running iccTiffDump. When the tool processes the malicious TIFF (e.g., during color profile extraction or validation in an image processing pipeline), the division by zero is triggered, crashing iccTiffDump and disrupting the workflow. Exploitation requires no special privileges beyond file placement and depends on the application running the tool against untrusted input; no public exploit code or active in-the-wild exploitation has been identified.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 31, 2026

Denial of service via division by zero in iccDEV prior to version 2.3.1.6 allows local attackers to crash the iccTiffDump utility by supplying a crafted TIFF file, resulting in undefined behavior and availability impact. The vulnerability requires local file access and no authentication, but exploitation is limited to denial of service rather than code execution or information disclosure. CVSS 6.2 reflects medium severity with high availability impact; no public exploitation or CISA KEV status reported.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: iccDEV version 2.3.1.6 or later. Users should update immediately by upgrading to the patched release available at https://github.com/InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV/releases. The upstream fix is documented in GitHub issue #719 and pull request #723 (https://github.com/InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV/pull/723); review PR #723 for implementation details on division-by-zero validation. Until patching is complete, mitigate by avoiding processing untrusted or user-supplied TIFF files with iccTiffDump and by restricting iccDEV tool execution to trusted, validated inputs. For applications embedding iccDEV, coordinate with upstream maintainers for patched library releases.

Technical ContextAI · show details

iccDEV is the reference implementation library for the International Color Consortium (ICC) color profile specification, providing tools to parse and manipulate TIFF image files with embedded ICC color profiles. The vulnerability resides in CWE-369 (Divide By Zero), a numeric error condition where untrusted input from a malformed TIFF file reaches a division operation without proper validation. The iccTiffDump utility specifically processes TIFF headers and color profile data; a crafted TIFF can contain zero or invalid values in fields expected to be divisors (likely in image dimension, resolution, or color component calculations), triggering undefined behavior in C/C++ code. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:internationalcolorconsortium:iccdev:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (all versions before 2.3.1.6).

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools for working with ICC color management profiles. Prior to version 2.3.1.6, a crafted TIFF input can trigger Undefined Behavior (UB) due to division by zero in the TIFF handling code paths used by iccTiffDump. This issue has been patched in version 2.3.1.6.
