Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in iccDEV, a set of libraries and tools for working with ICC color management profiles. Before version 2.3.1.6, there is an Undefined Behavior condition in the file IccUtil.cpp that can be triggered by a specially crafted input profile.

Specifically, under the UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, the issue manifests as invalid left shift operations on an unsigned 32-bit integer (icUInt32Number), where the value being shifted cannot be represented within that type. This undefined behavior can cause unpredictable program behavior or crashes.

The vulnerability has been fixed in version 2.3.1.6 of iccDEV.
