Synopsis:	Moderate: lcms security update
Issue date:	2009-03-19
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0581 CVE-2009-0723 CVE-2009-0733

Multiple integer overflow flaws which could lead to heap-based buffer
overflows, as well as multiple insufficient input validation flaws, were
found in LittleCMS. An attacker could use these flaws to create a
specially-crafted image file which could cause an application using
LittleCMS to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when opened by 
a victim. (CVE-2009-0723, CVE-2009-0733)

A memory leak flaw was found in LittleCMS. An application using 
LittleCMS could use excessive amount of memory, and possibly crash after 
using all available memory, if used to open specially-crafted images. 
(CVE-2009-0581)

All running applications using the lcms library must be restarted for 
the update to take effect.
