Summary
MicroStation and MicroStation-based applications may be affected by out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities when opening maliciously crafted DGN files. Exploiting these vulnerabilities could lead to information disclosure.
Details
Using an affected version of MicroStation or MicroStation-based application to open a DGN file containing maliciously crafted data can force an out-of-bounds read. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities within the parsing of DGN files could enable an attacker to read information in the context of the current process.
Affected Versions
| Applications | Affected Versions | Mitigated Versions |
| MicroStation | 10.16.* and prior versions | 10.17.0.* and more recent |
| Bentley View | 10.16.* and prior versions | 10.17.0.* 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 DGN files coming from trusted sources.
