Code execution via uninitialized TIF memory
Published Feb 18, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Use of uninitialized memory in Bentley View 10.15.0.75 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious TIF file. The TIF image parser accesses memory without proper initialization, letting crafted image data redirect execution in the current process. Exploitation requires a target to open the malicious file or visit a page that causes it to open; successful exploitation can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
