| <p>LittleCMS, or short lcms, is a color management system for working with |
| ICC profiles. It is used by many applications including GIMP and Firefox. |
| </p> |

| <description> |
| <p>Multiple stack-based buffer overflows and a profile parser error have |
| been found in LittleCMS. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p>A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a |
| specially crafted file containing a malicious ICC profile, possibly |
| resulting in a Denial of Service condition. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p>All LittleCMS users should upgrade to the latest version:</p> |
| |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/lcms-2.6-r1" |
| </code> |
| |
| <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools |
| such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>NOTE: Gentoo has discontinued support for the LittleCMS 1.9 branch. </p> |
