A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP (Paint Shop Pro) file loader. When processing a compressed selection channel, a heap-based buffer overflow can occur due to a mismatch between the allocated buffer size and the amount of data decompressed. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious PSP file. Opening this file in GIMP could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution.
Why it matters
- ▸ Requires local access, limiting mass exploitation
- ▸ Low attack complexity — no special conditions needed to exploit
- ▸ No authentication required
- ▸ Requires the victim to take an action (e.g. open a file or link)
Apply the vendor patch as soon as it's available or already released. User-awareness training reduces risk here, since exploitation depends on tricking a user into acting.
This analysis is generated from structured CVSS vector data, CISA KEV cross-referencing, and vendor/product category rules — not a manual expert review. Treat it as a starting point, not a substitute for your own assessment.

EU Vulnerability Database (ENISA)
EUVD is ENISA's EU vulnerability database, still in beta. EPSS is a probabilistic exploitation-likelihood score, not a certainty.
