CVE-2021-27034: Autodesk Design Review DWF File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
A heap-based buffer overflow could occur while parsing PICT, PCX, RCL or TIFF files in Autodesk Design Review 2018, 2017, 2013, 2012, 2011. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
Other sources
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Autodesk Design Review. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of TGA files. Crafted data in a TGA file can trigger a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Autodesk Design Review. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of DWF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
