Summary
MicroStation and MicroStation-based applications may be affected by use-after-free vulnerabilities when opening maliciously crafted SKP files. Exploiting these vulnerabilities could lead to code execution.
Details
The following vulnerabilities related to this advisory were discovered by TrendMicro ZDI: ZDI-CAN-16280 and ZDI-CAN-16339. Using an affected version of MicroStation or MicroStation-based application to open a SKP file containing maliciously crafted data can force a use-after-free vulnerability. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities within the parsing of SKP files could enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
Affected Versions
| Applications | Affected Versions | Mitigated Versions |
| MicroStation | 10.16.02.* and prior versions | 10.16.03.* and more recent |
| Bentley View | 10.16.02.* and prior versions | 10.16.03.* and more recent |
Recommended Mitigations
Bentley recommends updating to the latest versions of MicroStation and MicroStation-based applications. As a general best practice, it is also recommended to only open SKP files coming from trusted sources.
Acknowledgement
Thanks to Mat Powell of Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative for discovering these vulnerabilities.
