Summary
GNU LibreDWG from 0 through 0.14.8612 is affected. The acds_private() function in the AcDs decoder reads beyond a static table because it does not check a schema property type index (CWE-125). A local attacker can supply a crafted R2004 or R2010+ DWG file with a large 'schdat' property type value, which crashes dwgread, dwg2dxf, or any application using LibreDWG.
