    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201206-04 (ArgyllCMS: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code) ArgyllCMS does not properly handle ICC profiles causing a use-after-free vulnerability. Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image file using ArgyllCMS, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
