The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202105-18 (LittleCMS: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

It was discovered that LittleCMS (aka Little Color Management System)       had an integer overflow in the AllocateDataSet function in cmscgats.c.

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.
