CVE-2021-40155: Security Advisories | Autodesk Trust Center

An exploitable use-after-free vulnerability exists in the JavaScript implementation of Nitro Pro PDF. A specially crafted document can cause an object containing the path to a document to be destroyed and then later reused, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability, which can lead to code execution under the context of the application. An attacker can convince a user to open a document to trigger this vulnerability.

An exploitable double-free vulnerability exists in the JavaScript implementation of Nitro Pro PDF. A specially crafted document can cause a reference to a timeout object to be stored in two different places. When closed, the document will result in the reference being released twice. This can lead to code execution under the context of the application. An attacker can convince a user to open a document to trigger this vulnerability.

A Memory Corruption vulnerability for PDF files in Autodesk Navisworks 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 may lead to code execution through maliciously crafted DLL files.

A maliciously crafted PDF file in Autodesk Navisworks 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 can be forced to read beyond allocated boundaries when parsing the PDF file. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

A maliciously crafted DWG file in Autodesk Navisworks 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 can be forced to write beyond allocated boundaries when parsing the DWG files. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

An exploitable return of stack variable address vulnerability exists in the JavaScript implementation of Nitro Pro PDF. A specially crafted document can cause a stack variable to go out of scope, resulting in the application dereferencing a stale pointer. This can lead to code execution under the context of the application. An attacker can convince a user to open a document to trigger the vulnerability.

A heap-based buffer overflow could occur while parsing PICT or TIFF files in Autodesk 2018, 2017, 2013, 2012, 2011. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

A maliciously crafted PDF, PICT or TIFF file can be used to write beyond the allocated buffer while parsing PDF, PICT or TIFF files in Autodesk 2018, 2017, 2013, 2012, 2011. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

A maliciously crafted TIFF, PDF, PICT or DWF files in Autodesk 2018, 2017, 2013, 2012, 2011 can be forced to read beyond allocated boundaries when parsing the TIFF, PDF, PICT or DWF files. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

A maliciously crafted DWG file can be used to write beyond the allocated buffer while parsing DWG files. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

A maliciously crafted DWG file can be forced to read beyond allocated boundaries when parsing the DWG file. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists when creating a new RGB Surface in SDL 2.0.5. A specially crafted file can cause an integer overflow resulting in too little memory being allocated which can lead to a buffer overflow and potential code execution. An attacker can provide a specially crafted image file to trigger this vulnerability.
