DescriptionCVE.org

A security flaw has been discovered in Assimp up to 6.0.4. Affected is the function HL1MDLLoader::extract_anim_value of the file HL1MDLLoader.cpp of the component Half-Life 1 MDL Loader. Performing a manipulation of the argument num.total results in heap-based buffer overflow. The attack must be initiated from a local position. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project tagged the reported issue as bug.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in Assimp's Half-Life 1 MDL Loader allows a local authenticated attacker to corrupt memory via a crafted MDL file, potentially achieving limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Affected versions span all releases up to and including 6.0.4 of the open-source asset import library. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must have local system access with at least low privileges (PR:L per CVSS AV:L/PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (Medium) reflects a local, low-privilege attack with limited scope (S:U) and partial impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker places or delivers a maliciously crafted Half-Life 1 MDL file with a manipulated num.total animation value to a local user or automated content pipeline running an application that uses Assimp for asset import. When the application calls extract_anim_value() during MDL parsing, the unsanitized num.total value causes a heap buffer overflow, potentially overwriting adjacent heap metadata or data. …
Remediation No vendor-released patched version has been confirmed from available data; the fix status should be monitored via the upstream GitHub issue at https://github.com/assimp/assimp/issues/6616 and the Assimp repository at https://github.com/assimp/assimp/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
