CVE-2010-4831
Untrusted search path vulnerability in gdk/win32/gdkinput-win32.c in GTK+ before 2.21.8 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse Wintab32.dll file in the current working directory.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.39%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
