A maliciously crafted PNG, PDF or DWF file in Autodesk Design Review 2018, 2017, 2013, 2012, 2011 can be used to attempt to free an object that has already been freed while parsing them. This vulnerability may be exploited by remote malicious actors to execute arbitrary code.
Weakness
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
