CVE-2026-27692
In versions up to and including 2.3.1.4, heap-buffer-overflow read occurs during CIccTagTextDescription::Release() when strlen() reads past a heap buffer while parsing ICC profile XML text description tags, causing a crash.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.16%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
