Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author

CVE-2022-41180

Summary

The vulnerability arises from improper memory management in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author, specifically within the PDFPublishing.dll component. When a user opens a specially crafted PDF file from an untrusted source, it can lead to a stack-based overflow or enable re-use of a dangling pointer.

Users are advised to avoid opening suspicious PDF files and to apply any available security updates from SAP promptly.
