Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
CGAL libcgal version 5.1.1
Description
The issue is related to multiple code execution vulnerabilities in the Nef polygon-parsing functionality of CGAL libcgal. A specially crafted malformed file can lead to an out-of-bounds read and type confusion, potentially resulting in code execution. An attacker can provide malicious input to trigger these vulnerabilities. Specifically, an oob read vulnerability exists in the
read face() function of PM io parser<PMDEC> in Nef 2/PM io parser.h, which is associated with unchecked array indexing. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service using a specially crafted file.Recommendations
For CGAL libcgal version 5.1.1, consider disabling the
read face() function of PM io parser<PMDEC> in Nef 2/PM io parser.h as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the Nef 2/PM io parser.h component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the store iv() function in the affected PM io parser<PMDEC> until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
Out of bounds Read
Improper Validation of Array Index
