DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in GNU LibreDWG 0.13.4-154-g0b573035. This impacts the function decompress_R2004_section of the file src/decode.c of the component R2004 Section Decompression. Executing a manipulation can lead to heap-based buffer overflow. The attack requires local access. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. Upgrading to version 0.14.8396 will fix this issue. This patch is called 3d0f9fc2eddbd6579c99af3111c37c98f03475d0. You should upgrade the affected component.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in GNU LibreDWG 0.13.4-154-g0b573035 allows a local low-privileged attacker to corrupt heap memory by supplying a crafted DWG file processed through the R2004 section decompressor, yielding partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The vulnerability resides in decompress_R2004_section within src/decode.c and is exploitable whenever LibreDWG parses attacker-controlled R2004-format DWG content. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker hold at minimum a low-privilege local account on the target system (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector) - unauthenticated remote exploitation is not possible given AV:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) confirms that exploitation is strictly local: an attacker must already have low-privilege access to the system and the ability to supply files to a LibreDWG-consuming process. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local attacker places a specially crafted DWG file - constructed to embed malformed R2004 section metadata - into a directory monitored by an automated LibreDWG-based conversion service running as a low-privilege daemon. When the service processes the file, `decompress_R2004_section` overflows a heap buffer in `decode.c`, corrupting adjacent allocations and producing partial read/write access to heap memory or a process crash. …
Remediation Upgrade GNU LibreDWG to version 0.14.8396 or later, which incorporates the fix in commit `3d0f9fc2eddbd6579c99af3111c37c98f03475d0`; the release is available at https://github.com/LibreDWG/libredwg/releases/tag/0.14.8396. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
