Technical details

A memory corruption vulnerability exists in Autodesk 3ds Max due to an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) during the parsing of RGB files. By providing a specially crafted RGB file, an attacker can trigger this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. The attack vector is local, typically requiring a user to open the malicious file. Autodesk has addressed this in version 2026.3.2.
