Impact:Out-of-Bounds Write, Heap-based Buffer Overflow, Untrusted Pointer Dereference, Memory Corruption
Severity: High
Original Publish:8/24/2023
Last Revised:3/20/2024
| 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. |
Autodesk AutoCAD and certain AutoCAD-based products have been affected by Out-of-Bounds Write, Heap-based Buffer Overflow, Untrusted Pointer Dereference, and Memory Corruption vulnerabilities.
The details of the vulnerabilities are as follows:
CVE-2023-29073 - A maliciously crafted MODEL file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 can be used to cause a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
2)CVE- 2023-29074- A maliciously crafted CATPART file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD2024, 2023,2022 and 2021 can be used to cause an Out-Of-Bounds Write. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
3)CVE-2023-29075 - A maliciously crafted PRT file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 can be used to cause an Out-Of-Bounds Write. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
4)CVE-2023-29076 - A maliciously crafted MODEL, SLDASM, SAT or CATPART file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 could cause memory corruption vulnerability. This vulnerability, along with other vulnerabilities, could lead to code execution in the current process.
5)CVE-2023-41139 - A maliciously crafted STP file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 can be used to dereference an untrusted pointer. This vulnerability, along with other vulnerabilities, could lead to code execution in the current process.
6)CVE-2023-41140 - A maliciously crafted PRT file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 can be used to cause a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
