CVE-2010-0316
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedInteger overflow in Google SketchUp before 7.1 M2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted SKP file.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceInteger overflow vulnerability in Google SketchUp's SKP file parsing code allows attackers to trigger heap memory corruption via specially crafted files, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Google SketchUp is installedWindows: Check registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\SketchUp or look for SketchUp in Program Files. Mac: Check /Applications for Google SketchUp.appAffected if SketchUp software is present on the system
-
Find installed SketchUp versionWindows: Right-click SketchUp.exe, select Properties, then Details tab to view File Version. Alternatively, run 'reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\SketchUp /v Version'Affected if Cannot determine version or registry entry is missing
-
Compare version against affected listMatch the installed version number exactly to 7.0, 7.0.10247, 7.1.4871, or 7.1.6087Affected if Installed version matches one of these four specific versions
-
Check if SKP file handling is possibleVerify that the application can open .skp files by attempting to open any existing SKP file or checking file association settingsAffected if SKP files can be opened by SketchUp (this is the default behavior and enables the attack vector)
If Google SketchUp is installed and the version matches exactly 7.0, 7.0.10247, 7.1.4871, or 7.1.6087, the environment is affected and parsing malicious SKP files could trigger heap corruption.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Google SketchUp to version 7.1 M2 or later to remediate the vulnerability.
Google SketchUp 7.1 M2 or later
- 1. Close Google SketchUp if currently running
- 2. Download Google SketchUp version 7.1 M2 or later from the official Google SketchUp website (sketchup.google.com)
- 3. Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts
- 4. After installation, verify the version by opening SketchUp and checking Help > About Google SketchUp
