A vulnerability has been identified in NX 1953 Series (All versions < V1973.3700), NX 1980 Series (All versions < V1988), Solid Edge SE2021 (All versions < SE2021MP8). The affected application contains a use-after-free vulnerability while parsing OBJ files. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process (ZDI-CAN-13771).

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
