Description

iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools that allow for the interaction, manipulation, and application of ICC color management profiles. Versions prior to 2.3.1.2 have an undefined behavior issue when floating-point NaN values are converted to unsigned short integer types during ICC profile XML parsing potentially corrupting memory structures and enabling arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability affects users of the iccDEV library who process ICC color profiles. ICC Profile Injection vulnerabilities arise when user-controllable input is incorporated into ICC profile data or other structured binary blobs in an unsafe manner. Version 2.3.1.2 contains a fix for the issue. No known workarounds are available.

Exploitability

CWE

KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-20 The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
CWE-681 When converting from one data type to another, such as long to integer, data can be omitted or translated in a way that produces unexpected values. If the resulting values are used in a sensitive context, then dangerous behaviors may occur.
CWE-704 The product does not correctly convert an object, resource, or structure from one type to a different type.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in iccDEV versions prior to 2.3.1.2 where floating-point NaN values are converted to unsigned short integers during ICC profile XML parsing. This causes undefined behavior that can corrupt memory structures and potentially allow arbitrary code execution. It arises from unsafe handling of user-controllable input in ICC profile data.

Impact Analysis

If you use the iccDEV library to process ICC color profiles, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system by exploiting memory corruption. This could lead to system compromise, data loss, or other malicious actions.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade the iccDEV library to version 2.3.1.2 or later, as this version contains the fix for the vulnerability. No known workarounds are available.
