Descriptions

A maliciously crafted CATPART file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD 2024 and 2023 can be used to cause an Out-Of-Bounds Write. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

Un archivo CATPART creado con fines malintencionados, cuando se analiza mediante Autodesk AutoCAD 2024 y 2023, se puede utilizar para provocar una escritura fuera de los límites. Un actor malintencionado puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para provocar un bloqueo, leer datos confidenciales o ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto del proceso actual.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Autodesk AutoCAD. 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 CATPART files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
