AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, users should avoid opening untrusted or suspicious AC1018 (R2004) DWG files with affected LibreCAD versions.

Description

LibreCAD versions through 2.2.1.6 contain a heap-based out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the bundled libdxfrw library's dwgReader18::parseDataPage() function. This flaw arises from unchecked buffer sizes and page offsets when processing AC1018 (R2004) DWG files. An attacker can craft a malicious DWG file with specially designed startOffset values that cause the decompress18 function to write beyond the allocated heap buffer, potentially leading to application crashes and code execution.
