Vulnerability details
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Open Asset Import Library Assimp up to 5.4.3. Affected is the function Assimp::BVHLoader::ReadNodeChannels in the library assimp/code/AssetLib/BVH/BVHLoader.cpp. The manipulation of the argument pNode leads to use after free. Attacking locally is…

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Memory protections (e.g., W^X, ASLR) make exploitation of buffer-boundary violations far harder to turn into code execution.
Ongoing control assessments and code testing (static/dynamic analysis, fuzzing) surface memory buffer restriction failures, which are then remediated before release.
Managed runtimes used by platform-independent applications (e.g., JVM, CLR) enforce memory safety, preventing most buffer overflows that require direct memory manipulation.
Detects exploitation attempts that produce memory corruption, crashes, or anomalous behavior.
