CVE-2020-28618: Out-of-bounds Read
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 NefS2/SNCioparser.h SNCioparser<EW>::readvertex() vh->shalfloop().
