CVE-2024-20744

Summary

CVE-2024-20744 is a newly disclosed vulnerability affecting Substance3D's Painter software versions 9.1.1 and earlier. This issue involves an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that can potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code if a victim opens a maliciously crafted file. The exploitation of this vulnerability requires user interaction, making it a significant threat for users who handle untrusted files. By writing data beyond the intended boundaries, an attacker can manipulate the software's memory and potentially gain control over the execution flow, leading to code execution in the context of the current user. To mitigate this risk, users are advised to update their Painter software to the latest version or employ security measures such as file validation and sandboxing to protect against untrusted files.
