fedora
Calendar Grey April 9, 2009
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Tackles integer overflow vulnerabilities and adds upper-bound checks in Ghostscript's icclib, ensuring it aligns with the recent argyllcms update for Fedora 10
Multiple integer overflows and multiple insufficient upper-bounds checks on certain variable sizes were originally discovered in the Ghostscript's International Color Consortium ...

Summary

The Argyll color management system supports accurate ICC profile creation for

scanners, CMYK printers, film recorders and calibration and profiling of

displays.

Spectral sample data is supported, allowing a selection of illuminants observer

types, and paper fluorescent whitener additive compensation. Profiles can also

incorporate source specific gamut mappings for perceptual and saturation

intents. Gamut mapping and profile linking uses the CIECAM02 appearance model,

a unique gamut mapping algorithm, and a wide selection of rendering intents. It

also includes code for the fastest portable 8 bit raster color conversion

engine available anywhere, as well as support for fast, fully accurate 16 bit

conversion. Device color gamuts can also be viewed and compared using a VRML

viewer.

Multiple integer overflows and multiple insufficient upper-bounds checks on

certain variable sizes were originally discovered in the Ghostscript's

International Color Consortium Format Library (icclib). It was found, the

original patch, addressing this issue was incomplete.
