We have encountered a crash in the Windows Color Management library (icm32.dll), in the icm32!Fill_ushort_ELUTs_from_lut16Tag function, while trying to display a TIFF image with a malformed embedded color profile:

The issue reproduces on Windows 7. It is easiest to reproduce with PageHeap enabled. In order to reproduce the problem with the provided samples, it might be necessary to use a custom program which displays images using GDI+, or any existing GDI+ client (such as Microsoft Office).

Attached is a TIFF file which triggers the crash.

Attached is a color profile which triggers the above crash. In order to reproduce it, it is necessary to use a dedicated program which loads the file and creates a color transform.
