Descriptions

A maliciously crafted 3DM file when parsed in AcTranslators.exe through Autodesk AutoCAD can force a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, write sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

Un archivo 3DM creado con fines malintencionados, cuando se analiza en AcTranslators.exe a través de Autodesk AutoCAD, puede provocar una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer de almacenamiento dinámico. Un actor malintencionado puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para provocar un bloqueo, escribir 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 3DM files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
