Technical details

The Autodesk FBX-SDK versions prior to 2017.1 are vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows (CWE-119) during the parsing and conversion of DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) format files. The root cause is improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer when handling malformed file structures. An attacker can exploit this by providing a malicious DAE file to an application utilizing the SDK, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is reachable over the network if the application processes user-supplied files, and it does not require authentication or user interaction according to the CVSS assessment. Autodesk has addressed this issue in version 2017.1 of the SDK.
