Description

Two vulnerabilities have been found in lcms, a library and set of commandline utilities for image color management. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2008-5316 Inadequate enforcement of fixed-length buffer limits allows an attacker to overflow a buffer on the stack, potentially enabling the execution of arbitrary code when a maliciously-crafted image is opened.

  • CVS-2008-5317

    An integer sign error in reading image gamma data could allow an attacker to cause an under-sized buffer to be allocated for subsequent image data, with unknown consequences potentially including the execution of arbitrary code if a maliciously-crafted image is opened.
