What is CVE-2008-5317?

An integer signedness error exists in the cmsAllocGamma function of the Little cms color engine prior to version 1.17. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted file that contains a manipulated 'number of entries' value. This value is incorrectly interpreted, potentially leading to insufficient memory allocation which could facilitate further exploitation or system instability.
