USN-652-1: LittleCMS vulnerability

Releases

• Ubuntu 6.06

Packages

• lcms -

Details

Chris Evans discovered that certain ICC operations in lcms were not
correctly bounds-checked. If a user or automated system were tricked
into processing an image with malicious ICC tags, a remote attacker could
crash applications linked against liblcms1, leading to a denial of service,
or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06

• liblcms1 - 1.13-1ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
