Technical details
A stack exhaustion vulnerability exists in Autodesk 3ds Max due to uncontrolled recursion (CWE-674) during the parsing of VRML (.wrl) files. The flaw is triggered when the application processes a specially crafted file that exceeds the stack memory limits, leading to an application crash. This is a local attack vector that requires user interaction, specifically the opening of a malicious file. Successful exploitation results in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
