CVE-2023-26157Public exploit

Application crash via unchecked DWG page count

Published Jan 2, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024

Out-of-bounds read in LibreDWG before 0.12.5.6384 allows local users to crash applications by supplying a crafted R2007 DWG file. The read_sections_map function accepts an excessive section->num_pages value without resetting it, and read_data_section then indexes beyond the section->pages array. The target must process the file through LibreDWG; the demonstrated result is a segmentation fault in the consuming process.
