Description

An issue was discovered in Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK before 2021.11. A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists when the recover operation is run with malformed .DXF and .DWG files. This can allow attackers to cause a crash potentially enabling a denial of service attack (Crash, Exit, or Restart) or possible code execution.

Waratek protection

Outside Waratek scope

A Java vulnerability, but not one Waratek protects. It affects only Java on a user's desktop (applets, Web Start, JavaFX, the installer), sits in a product the Waratek agent can't be installed into, or is in a package we don't expect in business applications. The decision below says which.

  • Protection none
  • Action not pursued none
  • Review automated Upstream data
  • Record active
Decided by The only affected product being a sealed appliance image, where Java runs but no -javaagent can be attached
Finding This CVE names only products the Waratek agent cannot be installed into (siemens/comos). They ship as sealed appliance images or as native code with no application JVM, so there is no start-up line to add -javaagent to. The vulnerability may well be a Java one; it is permanently out of ARMR's reach rather than outside its subject.
