CVE-2021-43273: Open Design Alliance (ODA) ODAViewer DGN File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability
An Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability exists in the DGN file reading procedure in Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK before 2022.11. Crafted data in a DGN file and lack of verification of input data can trigger a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
Other sources
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Open Design Alliance (ODA) Drawings Explorer. 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 DGN files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in 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.
