Technical details
A NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476) exists within Autodesk 3ds Max's handling of PAR files. The vulnerability is triggered during the parsing process when the application attempts to read or write to a memory location that is expected to be valid but is instead NULL. This is a local attack vector requiring user interaction, specifically that a user opens a maliciously crafted file. Successful exploitation results in an application crash (denial-of-service). The CVSS score of 5.3 reflects limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability in a local context.
