ArgyllCMS: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

ArgyllCMS: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code A vulnerability has been found in ArgyllCMS which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code. argyllcms June 18, 2012 June 18, 2012: 1 416781 remote 1.4.0 1.4.0

ArgyllCMS is an ICC compatible color management system that supports accurate ICC profile creation for scanners, cameras and film recorders.

ArgyllCMS does not properly handle ICC profiles causing a use-after-free vulnerability.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image file using ArgyllCMS, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All argyllcms users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/argyllcms-1.4.0"
