Technical details
Substance3D Sampler is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that arises from improper input validation when processing malicious files. The vulnerability is triggered when a user opens a specially crafted file in the application, causing a heap buffer overflow that an attacker can leverage to achieve arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user. The attack requires user interaction in the form of opening a malicious file; no network-based exploitation vector is available. Adobe has identified and patched this vulnerability; users should update to the latest version of Substance3D Sampler.
