CVE-2026-34542 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 stack-buffer-overflow (SBO) in CIccCalculatorFunc::Apply() when processed via iccApplyNamedCmm. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

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 stack-buffer-overflow (SBO) in CIccCalculatorFunc::Apply() when processed via iccApplyNamedCmm. Under AddressSanitizer, the failure is reported as a 4-byte write stack-buffer-overflow in IccProfLib/IccMpeCalc.cpp:3873, reachable through the MPE calculator / curve set initialization path. This issue has been patched in version 2.3.1.6.
