Description

A flaw was found in Open Asset Import Library Assimp. This vulnerability, a heap-based buffer overflow, allows a local attacker to manipulate input when processing CSM files. Successful exploitation could lead to information disclosure, compromise of data integrity, or a denial of service (DoS).

Statement

A heap-based buffer overflow in the Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) allows a local attacker to cause information disclosure and a denial of service by processing a specially crafted CSM file. Exploitability is limited by the requirement for local system access.
