CVE-2026-24409
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability in iccDEV allows attackers to exploit undefined behavior and null pointer dereferences when processing user-controlled ICC color profiles. Successful exploitation could lead to denial of service, data manipulation, or remote code execution. Users of iccDEV libraries and tools in affected versions are at risk.
💻 Affected Systems
- iccDEV libraries and tools
📦 What is this software?
Iccdev by Color
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Remote code execution leading to complete system compromise and data exfiltration.
Likely Case
Denial of service through application crashes or data corruption in color processing.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and sandboxing of ICC profile processing.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires crafting malicious ICC profiles and convincing users or applications to process them.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 2.3.1.2
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV/security/advisories/GHSA-398v-jvcg-p8f3
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Update iccDEV to version 2.3.1.2 or later. 2. Rebuild any applications using iccDEV libraries. 3. Restart affected services.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input validation
allImplement strict validation of ICC profile inputs before processing
Sandbox processing
allIsolate ICC profile processing in restricted environments
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict ICC profile sources to trusted providers only
- Implement network segmentation to limit exposure of vulnerable systems
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check iccDEV version using package manager or by examining installed librariesCheck Version:
iccdev --version or check package manager (apt list iccdev, yum list iccdev, etc.)Verify Fix Applied:
Confirm version is 2.3.1.2 or higher and test with known malicious ICC profiles📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Application crashes during ICC profile processing
- Memory access violation errors
Network Indicators:
- Unexpected ICC profile uploads to applications
