Code execution via unchecked DXF XRecord length
Published Apr 15, 2023 · Updated May 5, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK before 2023.6 allows attackers to execute code through a crafted DXF file. The DXF reader copies attacker-controlled XRecord data into a fixed-length heap buffer without validating its length. Exploitation requires the malicious DXF file to be read by a process using the SDK, so code runs with that process's privileges.
