A maliciously crafted X_B file when parsed through Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2023 can be used to write beyond the allocated buffer causing a Stack Buffer Overflow. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash or read sensitive data or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
