CVE-2020-28602: Out-of-bounds Read

First published: Mon Apr 18 2022(Updated: )

Multiple code execution vulnerabilities exists in the Nef polygon-parsing functionality of CGAL libcgal CGAL-5.1.1. A specially crafted malformed file can lead to an out-of-bounds read and type confusion, which could lead to code execution. An attacker can provide malicious input to trigger any of these vulnerabilities. An oob read vulnerability exists in Nef_2/PM_io_parser.h PM_io_parser<PMDEC>::read_vertex() Halfedge_of[].
