CVE-2021-41534

Information disclosure via malformed JT file

Published Sep 28, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Out-of-bounds read in Siemens NX before 1984 and Solid Edge before SE2021MP8 allows context-dependent attackers to disclose process memory. The JT-file parser fails to validate user-controlled data before reading beyond the end of an allocated buffer. Exploitation requires a user to open crafted JT content; the resulting read exposes memory from the current process without modifying data.
