CVE-2023-44444
GIMP PSP File Parsing Off-By-One Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
In short
GIMP has a flaw in how it reads PSP image files that can allow an attacker to run harmful code on your computer if you open a malicious PSP file. This happens because of a small calculation error when the program stores data in memory.
Technical detail
An off-by-one error in PSP file parsing within GIMP's heap buffer handling allows remote code execution when a crafted PSP file is processed. The vulnerability requires user interaction (opening a malicious file) and enables arbitrary code execution in the context of the GIMP process.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
GIMP PSP File Parsing Off-By-One Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PSP files. Crafted data in a PSP file can trigger an off-by-one error when calculating a location to write within a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
