## Affected

- Open Design Alliance ODA Drawings SDK - All Versions \< 2024.10: fixed in 2024.10

## Description

An issue was discovered in Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK before 2024.10. A corrupted value for the start of MiniFat sector in a crafted DGN file leads to an out-of-bounds read. This can allow attackers to cause a crash, potentially enabling a denial-of-service attack (Crash, Exit, or Restart) or possible code execution.

## What to do
