| Title | Assimp commit 17c12da Heap-based Buffer Overflow |
|---|
| Description | A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability exists in Assimp Library's LWS/LWO animation parsing module within the Assimp::LWO::AnimResolver::UpdateAnimRangeSetup function atLWOAnimation.cpp:227. The flaw is caused by insufficient boundary checks for vector iterators during animation key frame traversal. When processing a maliciously crafted malformed LWS or LWO animation file, the program executes a loop that only terminates based on a custom iterator comparison it2 != n, without verifying whether the iterator exceeds the valid range of the std::vector<Assimp::LWO::Key> container. An invalid overrun iterator can make the loop continue traversing beyond the vector’s allocated heap memory boundary. This triggers an 8-byte out-of-bounds heap memory read when accessing animation key data at line 227, corrupting memory and causing program crash during model animation parsing. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a specially malformed LWS/LWO model file. Successful exploitation can trigger denial-of-service (DoS) attacks via program crash, and may lead to sensitive memory information disclosure due to invalid out-of-bounds memory access. |
