It also seems overly defensive to say that this is only a bug in iccdump and not a bug in icclib. As far as I can tell iccdump.c did not change at all between 1.3.7 and 1.4.0, but rather the fix was located in icc/icc.c, which means the bug *was* compiled into icclib. Maybe what you meant is that iccdump is the only program you're *aware* of that used the vulnerable function, but that doesn't mean someone else wasn't also calling it.
