Descriptions

A maliciously crafted DWG file when parsed in ACAD.exe through Autodesk AutoCAD can force a Memory Corruption 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 DWG creado con fines malintencionados, al analizarse en ACAD.exe a través de Autodesk AutoCAD, puede provocar una vulnerabilidad de corrupción de memoria. 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 DWG files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
