AI-suggested
Users should avoid opening untrusted AC1018 (R2004) DWG files in LibreCAD versions up to 2.2.1.6 until a vendor advisory or patch is released. Monitor the LibreCAD project for updates or security advisories addressing this vulnerability.
Description
LibreCAD versions up to 2.2.1.6 have a heap-based out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the libdxfrw dwgReader18::parseDataPage() function. This flaw arises from unchecked buffer sizes and page offsets when processing AC1018 (R2004) DWG files. Maliciously crafted DWG files with manipulated startOffset values can trigger writes beyond the allocated heap buffer, potentially causing application crashes or code execution.
