CVE-2026-34540 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools for working with ICC color management profiles. Prior to version 2.3.1.6, a crafted ICC profile can trigger a heap-buffer-overflow (HBO) in icMemDump() when iccDumpProfile attempts to dump/describe malformed tag contents. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
