CVE-2010-4543

43
FAUCET Score

CVE-2010-4543 describes a heap-based buffer overflow in the GIMP 2.6.11 Paint Shop Pro (PSP) plugin, specifically within the read_channel_data function. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code by crafting a malicious PSP image file with RLE compression. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While no active exploitation is noted in KEV or Metasploit, an ExploitDB entry for GIMP 2.6.7 mentions related buffer overflow vulnerabilities, and there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
