Summary

A use-after-free flaw was found in mutter in the Wayland color-management ICC image-description path. A local attacker running a malicious Wayland client can destroy a wp_image_description_v1 resource while an asynchronous ICC file read is still in progress, leading to use of freed memory and potentially crashing the GNOME session or arbitrary code execution in the compositor.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause a session crash or execute code in the compositor, potentially leading to privilege escalation or session takeover.

Recommendation

Update mutter to the latest patched version. Limit trust to local Wayland clients.

Original NVD description (English source)

A use-after-free flaw was found in mutter in the Wayland color-management ICC image-description path. A local attacker who can run a malicious Wayland client can destroy a wp_image_description_v1 resource while an asynchronous ICC file read is still in progress. When the read completes, the compositor uses the freed wl_resource, writes into freed memory, and frees a pointer derived from that memory. This can crash the GNOME session and may allow arbitrary code execution within the compositor process.
