Fedora 9: 2009-3031 Critical: icclib Integer Overflow Code Execution

fedora
Calendar Grey March 25, 2009
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities found in the ICC library, particularly in icclib, threaten Fedora 9 users, allowing attackers to run arbitrary code through crafted image files
Multiple integer overflows were found in the International Color Consortium Format Library (icclib)

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 were found in the International Color Consortium

Format Library (icclib). An attacker could use this flaw to potentially execute

arbitrary code by requesting to translate a specially- crafted image file

created on one device into another's device native color space via a device

file.
