CVE-2015-8029
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer (VEV) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Filmbox document, which triggers memory corruption.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer contains a memory corruption vulnerability when parsing specially crafted Filmbox (.fbx) files, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the malformed document.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer is installedOn Windows, check Program Files for 'SAP' folder containing '3D Visual Enterprise Viewer', or use Add/Remove Programs to list installed software. On Mac, check /Applications for 'SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer'.Affected if The software is present on the system regardless of version, as all versions are affected
-
Identify the installed version numberLaunch the application and navigate to Help > About, or right-click the executable in Program Files > Properties > Details. Compare against any version information found.Affected if Any version of SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer is installed, since all versions are affected per the CVE
-
Verify .fbx file association or ability to open .fbx filesCheck if .fbx file type is registered to open with SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer, or attempt to open a .fbx file with the application to confirm parsing functionality works.Affected if The application can process .fbx files, which enables the vulnerable parsing code path
-
Inspect recent .fbx file activityCheck the application's recent documents or file open history for .fbx files, or scan the file system for .fbx files that may have been opened.Affected if Untrusted or unfamiliar .fbx files have been opened with this viewer
If SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer is installed and can process .fbx files, the system is affected by this vulnerability and could be exploited by opening malformed .fbx documents.
