Summary
Integer overflow in ColorSync in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.8, and Safari before 4.0.4 on Windows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted ColorSync profile embedded in an image, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
Exploit prediction
4.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 91% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
