| Severity | CVSS Score | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 0.1 - 3.9 | A vulnerability where scope and impact of exploitation is restricted and the ability to exploit is extremely difficult. |
| Medium | 4.0 - 6.9 | A vulnerability where exploitation is mitigated by factors such as difficulty to exploit, default configuration or ease of identification. |
| High | 7.0 - 8.9 | A vulnerability, which if exploited, would directly impact the confidentiality, integrity or availability of user's data or processing resources. |
| Critical | 9.0 - 10 | A vulnerability, which if exploited, would allow remote execution of malicious code without user action. |
Autodesk AutoCAD and certain Autodesk desktop products are affected by Out-of-Bounds Write and Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerabilities. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may lead to code execution. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities requires user interaction.
The details of these vulnerabilities are as follows:
CVE-2024-7991: A maliciously crafted DWG file, when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD and certain Autodesk desktop products, can force an Out-of-Bounds Write. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
CVE-2024-7992: A maliciously crafted DWG file, when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD and certain Autodesk desktop products, can force a Stack-based Buffer Overflow. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
CVE-2024-8896: A maliciously crafted DXF file when parsed in acdb25.dll through Autodesk affected applications can force to access a variable prior to initialization. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, write sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
CVE-2024-9489: A maliciously crafted DWG file when parsed in ACAD.exe through Autodesk affected applications can force a Memory Corruption vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, write sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
CVE-2024-9996: A maliciously crafted DWG file when parsed in acdb25.dll through Autodesk affected applications can force an Out-of-Bounds Write vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, write sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
CVE-2024-9997: A maliciously crafted DWG file when parsed in acdb25.dll through Autodesk affected applications can force a Memory Corruption vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, write sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
