Technical details

A use-after-free flaw exists in SketchUp's SKP file parsing code where the application fails to validate that an object exists before performing operations on it. An attacker crafts a malicious SKP file that triggers this condition; when a user opens the file, arbitrary code executes in the process context. User interaction (opening a file or visiting a webpage) is required to exploit this vulnerability.
