CVE-2016-10165
The Type_MLU_Read function in cmstypes.c in Little CMS (aka lcms2) allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via an image with a crafted ICC profile, which triggers an out-of-bounds heap read.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.76%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
