AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability exists in iccDEV’s CIccCalculatorFunc::SequenceNeedTempReset function, allowing an out‑of‑bounds read and an integer underflow. This flaw can expose arbitrary data in memory to the attacker, potentially leaking sensitive information. The weakness is identified as CWE‑125 and CWE‑191 and carries a CVSS score of 6.1, indicating medium severity.

Affected Systems

InternationalColorConsortium’s iccDEV library and tools are affected, specifically versions 2.3.1.1 and earlier. The vulnerability is patched in version 2.3.1.2 and later releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The attack is likely executed locally through the SequenceNeedTempReset function, yet the exact attack vector is not documented, so this inference is made based on the function’s exposure to user‑supplied data. Exploitation would require the attacker to have the ability to trigger the function, and while the EPSS score is below 1%, the flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The medium CVSS score combined with low exploitation probability suggests a moderate risk, but organizations should not ignore it because of the potential to reveal confidential application memory.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade iccDEV to version 2.3.1.2 or later to eliminate the integer underflow and out‑of‑bounds read.
  • If upgrading immediately is not possible, run the profile‑loading component in a strictly read‑only context or sandbox to limit the exposure of sensitive data.
  • Continuously review the InternationalColorConsortium advisories and keep the library updated to apply any future security patches.
