Background ========= LittleCMS, or short lcms, is a color management system for working with ICC profiles. It is used by many applications including GIMP, Firefox and Chromium.

Impact ===== A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a specially crafted file containing malicious color data, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time.
