CVE-2022-41309

Memory corruption via malformed DWF or PCT parsing

Published Oct 21, 2022 · Updated May 7, 2025

Out-of-bounds write in Autodesk Design Review 2011, 2012, 2013, 2017, and 2018 allows attackers to corrupt memory via a crafted DWF or PCT file. DesignReview.exe parses the untrusted drawing or image file and performs an invalid write that triggers a write access violation. A user must cause the application to consume the file; the flaw corrupts process memory and supports code execution only when chained with another vulnerability.
