Summary
MicroStation and MicroStation-based applications are affected by DGN file parsing out-of-bounds vulnerabilities when opening maliciously crafted DGN files. Exploiting these vulnerabilities lead to arbitrary code execution.

Details
The following vulnerabilities related to this advisory were discovered by TrendMicro ZDI: ZDI-CAN-15532, ZDI-CAN-16424, ZDI-CAN-16468, ZDI-CAN-16469 and ZDI-CAN-16470. Using an affected version of MicroStation or MicroStation-based application to open a DGN file containing maliciously crafted data can force an out-of-bounds read or write. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities within the parsing of DGN files enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

Affected Versions

Recommended Mitigations
Bentley recommends updating to the latest versions of MicroStation and MicroStation-based applications. As a general best practice, it is also recommended to only open DGN files coming from trusted sources.

Acknowledgement
Thanks to Mat Powell of Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative for discovering these vulnerabilities.
