  - A heap buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in thesmooth2() in cmsgamma.c in lcms2-2.16 which
    allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this because this is
    not exploitable as this function is never called on normal color management, is there only as a helper for
    low-level programming and investigation. (CVE-2025-29070)
