Vulnerabilities in the Autodesk® AutoCAD Products


Autodesk ID: ADSK-SA-2019-0001

Product, Service, Component: Autodesk® AutoCAD

Impact: Deserialization of Untrusted Data, Heap Overflow, Use After Free

Severity: High

Original Publish: 14/02/2019

Last Revised: 14/02/2019

Severity CVSS Score Impact
Low 0.1 - 3.9 A vulnerability where scope and impact of exploitation is restricted and the ability to exploit is extremely difficult.
Medium 4.0 - 6.9 A vulnerability where exploitation is mitigated by factors such as difficulty to exploit, default configuration or ease of identification.
High 7.0 - 8.9 A vulnerability, which if exploited, would directly impact the confidentiality, integrity or availability of user's data or processing resources.
Critical 9.0 - 10 A vulnerability, which if exploited, would allow remote execution of malicious code without user action.

Summary

Multiple Autodesk products have been affected by heap overflow, use-after-free and deserialization vulnerabilities.

Description

The details of the vulnerabilities are as follows:

  1. CVE-2019-7358: An attacker may convince a victim to open a malicious DXF file that may cause a heap overflow which may result in code execution.

  2. CVE-2019-7359: An attacker may convince a victim to open a malicious DXF file with too many cell margins populating an AcCellMargin object and may cause a heap overflow which may result in code execution.

  3. CVE-2019-7360: An attacker may convince a victim to open a malicious DXF file that may trigger a use-after-free vulnerability which may result in code execution.

  4. CVE-2019-7361: An attacker may convince a victim to open a malicious action micro (.actm) file that has serialized data, which may trigger a code execution.
