Use-after-free vulnerability in Autodesk Design Review versions 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2018. An attacker may trick a user into opening a malicious DWF file that may leverage a use-after-free vulnerability, which may result in code execution.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
