Autodesk Revit PDF Parsing Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability
CVE-2024-11268 Published on December 9, 2024
PDF File Parsing Vulnerability in Autodesk Revit
A maliciously crafted PDF file, when parsed through Autodesk Revit, can force an Out-of-Bounds Read. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash or could lead to an arbitrary memory leak.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2024-11268 is exploitable with local system access, requires user interaction. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have no impact on confidentiality and integrity, and a high impact on availability.
Weakness Type
Out-of-bounds Read
The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
