Description
iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools that allow for the interaction, manipulation, and application of ICC color management profiles. Prior to version 2.3.1.2, type confusion allowed malformed ICC profiles to trigger undefined behavior when loading invalid icImageEncodingType values causing denial of service. This issue has been patched in version 2.3.1.2.
