CVE-2016-9303: Autodesk FBX SDK buffer overflows in file parsing

CVE-2016-9303 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2017-01-25

The Autodesk FBX SDK, a tool used by developers to integrate 3D data exchange into their applications, is vulnerable to memory corruption issues. An attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted FBX file, which could lead to unauthorized code execution or cause the application to crash or freeze. This could result in a total loss of system confidentiality and availability if a user processes a malicious file.

Technical details

The Autodesk FBX SDK versions prior to 2017.1 contain multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities (CWE-119) within the file parsing logic. These flaws are triggered when the SDK attempts to read or convert malformed FBX format files. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by tricking a user or automated system into processing a malicious FBX file. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the application using the SDK or a denial-of-service via an infinite loop. The issue is resolved in FBX SDK version 2017.1.
