Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Open Asset Import Library Assimp 5.4.3. This affects the function Assimp::ASE::Parser::ParseLV4MeshBonesVertices of the file code/AssetLib/ASE/ASEParser.cpp of the component ASE File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a heap-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-122. A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc(). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2025-3159. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. Technical details and a public exploit are known.

The exploit is shared for download at github.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 235880 (Amazon Linux 2 : qt5-qt3d (ALAS-2025-2848)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
