NVD · unedited
Substance3D - Painter versions 10.1.0 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

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

Out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Adobe Substance3D Painter versions 10.1.0 and earlier allows disclosure of sensitive memory contents when processing a malicious file. This memory disclosure can be leveraged to bypass ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) mitigations, potentially facilitating further exploitation. The attack requires user interaction as the victim must open a specially crafted malicious file.

MitigationUpdate Substance3D Painter to a version newer than 10.1.0 (or latest available). Additionally, exercise caution when opening files from untrusted sources and consider disabling file previews in the application.
