Vulnerabilities in the Autodesk® FBX Software Development Kit


Autodesk ID: ADSK-SA-2020-0002

Product, Service, Component: Autodesk® FBX-SDK

Impact: Code Execution, Denial of Service

Severity: High

Original Publish: 15/04/2020

Last Revised: 20/11/2020

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

Applications and Services that utilize the FBX-SDK Ver. 2020.0 or earlier can be impacted by buffer overflow, type confusion, use-after-free, integer overflow, NULL pointer dereference, and heap overflow vulnerabilities.

Description

The details of the vulnerabilities are as follows:

  1. CVE-2020-7080: A user may be tricked into opening a malicious FBX file which may exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability in FBX’s SDK causing it to run arbitrary code on the system.

  2. CVE-2020-7081: A user may be tricked into opening a malicious FBX file which may exploit a type confusion vulnerability in FBX’s SDK causing it to read/write out-of-bounds memory location or run arbitrary code on the system or lead to denial-of-service.

  3. CVE-2020-7082: A user may be tricked into opening a malicious FBX file which may exploit a use-after-free vulnerability in FBX's SDK causing the application to reference a memory location controlled by an unauthorized third party, thereby running arbitrary code on the system.

  4. CVE-2020-7083: The user may be tricked into opening a malicious FBX file which may exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in FBX's SDK causing the application to crash leading to a denial of service.

  5. CVE-2020-7084: The user may be tricked into opening a malicious FBX file which may exploit a Null Pointer Dereference vulnerability in FBX's SDK causing the application to crash leading to a denial of service.

  6. CVE-2020-7085: The user may be tricked into opening a malicious FBX file which would invoke the heap overflow vulnerable FBX parser to obtain a limited code execution by altering certain values in a FBX file, causing the application to run arbitrary code on the system.
