Summary

Kitware VTK through version 9.5.0 contains a heap use-after-free vulnerability in vtkGLTFDocumentLoader. The vulnerability manifests during mesh object copy operations where vector members are accessed after the underlying memory has been freed, specifically when handling GLTF files with corrupted or invalid mesh reference structures.

Risk Assessment

Processing a malicious GLTF file may lead to arbitrary code execution or application crash in software using VTK. Organizations relying on VTK for visualization are exposed to attacks via supplied files.

Recommendation

Update VTK to a version newer than 9.5.0 if a fix is available, or avoid processing untrusted GLTF files. Implement input file validation before processing.
