In short
iccDEV, a color management software, has a bug that causes it to loop forever when processing certain profile files, making the application freeze and unusable. An attacker can crash the system by sending a specially crafted color profile.
Technical detail
An infinite loop exists in the CalcProfileID() function in IccProfile.cpp, triggered during ICC color profile processing. The vulnerability requires an attacker to provide a malicious profile file, resulting in denial of service through resource exhaustion and application hang.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools for working with ICC color management profiles. Versions 2.3.1 and below have an infinite loop in the IccProfile.cpp function, CalcProfileID. This issue is fixed in version 2.3.1.1.
