CVE-2024-8894

Application crash via unchecked DWF SectionIterator data

Published Dec 4, 2024 · Updated Dec 4, 2024

Out-of-bounds write in Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK before 2025.10 allows attackers to crash applications through crafted DWF files. The DWF reader fails to validate received SectionIterator data before writing, causing an unhandled exception and an out-of-bounds memory write. Exploitation requires an embedding application to read the malicious file; confirmed impact is a process crash, while code execution remains possible.
