Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be, depending on how the library is used. If an application processes ICC profiles from remote or user-supplied content (such as uploaded images, documents, or media), an attacker can potentially trigger the vulnerability remotely by providing a crafted file.

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?

The attacker needs the ability to influence or supply ICC profile data that is parsed by iccDEV. This often corresponds to the ability to upload or deliver files with embedded ICC profiles, or to otherwise inject ICC profile information into a pipeline that uses the library.

What is the safest general fix pattern for developers?

Introduce robust validation and error handling around all numeric conversions in the ICC parsing code. Specifically, detect and reject NaN, infinite, and out-of-range floating-point values before converting them to smaller integer types, and ensure parsing fails safely rather than proceeding with corrupted or undefined data.
