CVE-2026-24409Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Process crash via unchecked XML node dereference

Published Jan 24, 2026 · Updated Jan 24, 2026

Null pointer dereference in International Color Consortium iccDEV before 2.3.1.2 allows remote attackers to crash software via crafted XML. CIccTagXmlFloatNum<>::ParseXml() reads pNode->children without first checking whether pNode is null, causing a zero-page read and segmentation fault. Exploitation requires a user or application to process attacker-supplied XML with iccFromXml or another consumer of the XML parsing library.
