  <title>LittleCMS: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    Multiple errors in LittleCMS allow for attacks including the remote
    execution of arbitrary code.

    <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>
    RedHat reported a null-pointer dereference flaw while processing
    monochrome ICC profiles (CVE-2009-0793).
    </p>
    <p>
    Chris Evans of Google discovered the following vulnerabilities:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>LittleCMS contains severe memory leaks (CVE-2009-0581).</li>
    <li>LittleCMS is prone to multiple integer overflows, leading to a
    heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-0723).</li>
    <li>The
    ReadSetOfCurves() function is vulnerable to stack-based buffer
    overflows when called from code paths without a bounds check on channel
    counts (CVE-2009-0733).</li>
    </ul>
  </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 the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
    user running the application or memory exhaustion, leading to 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 &quot;&gt;=media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
