Descriptions
A maliciously crafted DXF file when parsed in acdb25.dll through Autodesk AutoCAD can force to access a variable prior to initialization. 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 DXF creado con fines malintencionados, cuando se analiza en acdb25.dll a través de Autodesk AutoCAD, puede obligar a acceder a una variable antes de la inicialización. 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 DXF files. The issue results from the lack of proper initialization of memory prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
