Description Martin Prpič 2016-05-03 11:37:38 UTC 
CERT Coordination Center reports:

We have discovered a vulnerability in the Little CMS 2 (lcms2) package that has been fixed in lcms2 2.6, which was released in 2014. However, this issue was never assigned a CVE, and subsequently has not gathered the attention that it deserves.

The vulnerability was disocvered via fuzzing the latest poppler code with BFF. Because of the way that the poppler software was installed, it was using a distro-provided (Ubuntu) liblcms2 package. In particular, a fully-patched Ubuntu 14.04 platform provides liblcms2 version 2.5, which is vulnerable.

This is the commit that addresses the vulnerability:
