This update addresses security bugs in liblcms that occurred while parsing ICC profiles in JPEG images. (CVE-2007-2741) Remote attackers can exploit this bug to execute arbitrary commands or cause denial-of-service.

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.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Various security issues in liblcms have been found that occur while parsing ICC profiles in JPEG images. A remote attacker can exploit these bugs to execute arbitrary commands or cause denial-of-service by tricking the user to view a specially crafted JPEG image.

This issue has been tracked by CVE-2007-2741.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201412-08 (Multiple packages, Multiple vulnerabilities fixed in 2010)
