Synopsis

The version of Autodesk AutoCAD installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Autodesk AutoCAD installed on the remote Windows host is a version prior to 2023.1.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- A maliciously crafted MODEL file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD 2023 can be used to cause a Heap-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-2023-29073)

- A maliciously crafted CATPART file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD 2023 can be used to cause 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-2023-29074)

- A maliciously crafted PRT file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD 2023 can be used to cause 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-2023-29075)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
