Code execution via malicious-file out-of-bounds write
Published Jan 14, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in Adobe Substance 3D Designer 14.0 and earlier allows attackers to execute code when a user opens a malicious file. Adobe has not disclosed the affected file format or parser, but states that processing the crafted file performs an out-of-bounds memory write. Exploitation requires user interaction and runs arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user.
