DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in GNU LibreDWG up to 0.14. The impacted element is the function read_2004_compressed_section of the file src/decode.c of the component Dwgbmp Utility. Executing a manipulation can lead to out-of-bounds read. The attack requires local access. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. This patch is called 8f03865f37f5d4ffd616fef802acc980be54d300. It is advisable to implement a patch to correct this issue.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in GNU LibreDWG's read_2004_compressed_section function (src/decode.c) affects all versions through 0.14, allowing a local low-privileged attacker to crash the dwgbmp utility or any LibreDWG-based application by supplying a crafted DWG 2004 file with manipulated section address or size fields. Impact is limited to availability (application crash) with no confirmed confidentiality or integrity exposure per the CVSS 4.0 vector. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain local low-privilege access to target system
Delivery
Craft malicious DWG 2004 file with oversized section address or size values
Exploit
Supply crafted file to dwgbmp utility or LibreDWG-based application
Execution
Trigger out-of-bounds read in read_2004_compressed_section
Impact
Application crash causing denial of service

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Local filesystem access with low-level privileges (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector) is required - remote network-based exploitation is not possible without an intermediary file upload or intake mechanism. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 4.0 score of 1.9 accurately reflects the constrained risk: AV:L requires local access, PR:L demands at minimum low-privilege credentials, and the only confirmed impact is VA:L (partial availability - crash). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local attacker with standard user privileges places a crafted DWG 2004 file on a system where a LibreDWG-based application (such as dwgbmp) automatically or manually processes DWG files - for example, a shared rendering or conversion service. The malicious file contains section header fields with an address or address+size value exceeding the decompression buffer bounds, triggering an out-of-bounds read in read_2004_compressed_section and crashing the application. …
Remediation Apply the upstream patch at commit 8f03865f37f5d4ffd616fef802acc980be54d300 from the LibreDWG GitHub repository (https://github.com/LibreDWG/libredwg/commit/8f03865f37f5d4ffd616fef802acc980be54d300). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
