Summary
MicroStation and MicroStation-based applications may be affected by out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities when opening maliciously crafted DXF files. Exploiting these vulnerabilities could lead to information disclosure.
Details
The following vulnerabilities related to this advisory were discovered by TrendMicro ZDI: ZDI-CAN-16306 and ZDI-CAN-16341. Using an affected version of MicroStation or MicroStation-based application to open a DXF file containing maliciously crafted data can force an out-of-bounds read. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities within the parsing of DXF files could enable an attacker to read information in the context of the current process.
