CVE-2020-7085

Code execution via altered FBX parser values

Published Apr 17, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Heap overflow in the Autodesk FBX SDK 2019.5 and earlier allows attackers to execute code by supplying a malicious FBX file. Autodesk identifies the FBX parser and altered file values but does not disclose the specific parsing operation that overruns heap memory. Execution requires an application or service built with the SDK to parse the file, typically after user interaction, and occurs in that process.
