Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.92%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
There are two Information Disclosure vulnerabilities in colord, and they lie in colord/src/cd-device-db.c and colord/src/cd-profile-db.c separately. They exist because the 'err_msg' of 'sqlite3_exec' is not releasing after use, while libxml2 emphasizes that the caller needs to release it.
