{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2021-42523","details":"There are two Information Disclosure vulnerabilities in colord, and they lie in colord/src/cd-device-db.c and colord/src/cd-profile-db.c separately. They exist because the 'err_msg' of 'sqlite3_exec' is not releasing after use, while libxml2 emphasizes that the caller needs to release it.","modified":"2025-07-16T07:43:22.033572Z","published":"2022-08-25T18:15:00Z","withdrawn":"2025-07-18T16:47:01Z","upstream":["CVE-2021-42523"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2021-42523"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/hughsie/colord/issues/110"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/hughsie/colord/commit/adf41f36cf7214d7d6fa8d528b74eba47c377405"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2021-42523"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"colord","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/colord@1.4.6-1?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.4.6-1"}]}],"versions":["1.4.5-3build1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"colord","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_name":"colord-data","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_name":"colord-dbgsym","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_name":"colord-tests","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_name":"colord-tests-dbgsym","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_name":"gir1.2-colord-1.0","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_version":"1.4.6-1","binary_name":"gir1.2-colorhug-1.0"},{"binary_name":"libcolord-dev","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_name":"libcolord2","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_name":"libcolord2-dbgsym","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_name":"libcolorhug-dev","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_name":"libcolorhug2","binary_version":"1.4.6-1"},{"binary_version":"1.4.6-1","binary_name":"libcolorhug2-dbgsym"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2021/UBUNTU-CVE-2021-42523.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
