CVE-2023-44443
GIMP PSP File Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
In short
GIMP has a flaw when opening PSP image files that allows attackers to run malicious code on your computer. An attacker can create a specially crafted PSP file that, when opened in GIMP, executes harmful programs.
Technical detail
An integer overflow vulnerability exists in GIMP's PSP file parser due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data. This allows a remote attacker to craft a malicious PSP file that triggers a memory write vulnerability, enabling arbitrary code execution in the context of the GIMP process when the file is opened.
