Exploitability

CWE
CWE Icon
KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-122 A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
CWE-119 The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
CWE-787 The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a heap buffer overflow (read) in the iccDEV library, specifically in the function CIccIO::WriteUInt16Float(). It occurs when converting malformed XML data into ICC color profiles using the iccFromXml tool. This means that if the XML input is crafted incorrectly or maliciously, it can cause the program to read beyond the allocated memory buffer, potentially leading to unexpected behavior or crashes.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability can be significant. Because it is a heap buffer overflow with a high CVSS score (7.8), it can lead to serious consequences such as unauthorized disclosure of information, modification of data, or denial of service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the affected application to crash or behave unpredictably, potentially leading to system compromise or data corruption.
