CVE-2022-41184

Code execution via crafted cursor file memory corruption

Published Oct 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Memory corruption in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author 9 allows context-dependent attackers to execute code through a crafted cursor file. The cursor-file parser mishandles memory when a crafted .cur or ico.x3d payload causes a stack-based overflow or reuses a dangling pointer whose storage has been overwritten. Execution requires a user to open the untrusted file, after which successful corruption runs the payload with the application's access.
