CVE-2013-7455
Published: 4 May 2016
Double free vulnerability in the DefaultICCintents function in cmscnvrt.c in liblcms2 in Little CMS 2.x before 2.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed ICC profile that triggers an error in the default intent handler.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that a double free() could occur when the intent handling code in the Little CMS library detected an error. An attacker could use this to specially craft a file that caused an application using the Little CMS library to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.
