A vulnerability was determined in Open Asset Import Library Assimp up to 6.0.4. Affected is the function Assimp::Exporter::ExportToBlob of the file code/AssetLib/Ply/PlyLoader.cpp of the component PLY Model Handler. This manipulation causes double free. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report.

A flaw was found in Open Asset Import Library (Assimp). This vulnerability, a double free, exists within the PLY Model Handler component. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by manipulating PLY model files, leading to a denial of service and making the application unavailable.

A Moderate denial of service flaw was identified in the Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) within the PLY Model Handler. This double free vulnerability can be triggered by processing a specially crafted PLY model file, potentially leading to application unavailability. While remote, exploitation typically requires user interaction to open a malicious file. To mitigate this vulnerability, avoid processing untrusted PLY (Polygon File Format) model files with applications that utilize the Assimp library. Ensure that all PLY files originate from trusted sources to prevent the exploitation of this double free flaw.
