Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_channel_data function in file-psp.c in the Paint Shop Pro (PSP) plugin in GIMP 2.6.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a PSP_COMP_RLE (aka RLE compression) image file that begins a long run count at the end of the image. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-4543 is a memory corruption flaw in GIMP's Paint Shop Pro image plugin. A malicious PSP image could crash the application and may allow code execution. Business risk is mainly where users or automated workflows open untrusted image files with old GIMP builds. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems running vulnerable GIMP packages or using GIMP to process untrusted PSP files. Debian, Gentoo, Red Hat, SUSE, and Mandriva advisories indicate downstream Linux distributions shipped updates, but the source bundle does not provide a complete affected-version matrix. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless vulnerable GIMP installations process untrusted images. Prioritize patching or removal on shared workstations, media pipelines, and systems where user-supplied images are opened automatically. Mitigation focus: Apply GIMP security updates from the relevant operating system vendor.; Retire or isolate legacy GIMP 2.6.11 installations.; Avoid opening untrusted PSP files on unpatched systems..
