## Description

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. NOTE: this
vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2010-4543.
