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 · unedited
Due to lack of proper memory management, when a victim opens manipulated Wavefront Object (.obj, ObjTranslator.exe) file received from untrusted sources in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer - version 9, it is possible for the application to crash and becomes temporarily unavailable to the user until restart of the application.

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 confidence

Memory management vulnerability in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer version 9 allows a specially crafted Wavefront Object (.obj) file from untrusted sources to crash the application, rendering it temporarily unavailable until restart.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer installation
    Check if SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer is installed on the system by searching for the application in installed programs or scanning for the executable file (typically named 'SAP3DVisualEnterpriseViewer.exe' or similar)
    Affected if The application is present on the system
  2. Identify installed version number
    Right-click the application executable, select Properties, and check the Version tab, or use the application's About/Help menu to display the version information
    Affected if The version cannot be determined or is below 9.0
  3. Compare version against affected range
    Review the installed version against the affected range: versions prior to 9.0 are vulnerable; version 9.0 and later contain the fix
    Affected if The installed version is less than 9.0 (e.g., 8.0, 8.x, or earlier releases)
  4. Assess exposure to untrusted .obj files
    Determine if the system or users within the organization routinely open Wavefront Object (.obj) files from external or untrusted sources, as this is the attack vector required to trigger the vulnerability
    Affected if Users open .obj files from untrusted or unknown sources without validation

A user is affected if SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer is installed with a version lower than 9.0 AND the application is used to open .obj files from untrusted sources.
