USN-2961-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that a double free() could occur when the intent handling code in the Little CMS library
    detected an error. An attacker could use this to specially craft a file that caused an application using
    the Little CMS library to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
