A vulnerability was detected in Assimp up to 6.0.4. Affected is the function glTF2Importer::ImportEmbeddedTextures in the library code/AssetLib/glTF2/glTF2Importer.cpp of the component TF File Handler. The manipulation results in null pointer dereference. The attack is only possible with local access. The exploit is now public and may be used. It is advisable to implement a patch to correct this issue. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.

A flaw was found in Assimp. A local user with access to the system could exploit a null pointer dereference vulnerability in the `glTF2Importer::ImportEmbeddedTextures` function. This flaw could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS), making the application unavailable.

This Moderate impact null pointer dereference vulnerability in Assimp's glTF2Importer requires local system access to trigger a Denial of Service. While the flaw can make an application unavailable, its local nature limits the overall risk to Red Hat products. Users should avoid processing untrusted glTF2 files with applications that rely on the Assimp library. This vulnerability requires local access and the processing of a specially crafted file to trigger the null pointer dereference, leading to a denial of service.
