CVE-2021-29098 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Esri ArcReader, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine (10.8.1 and earlier), and ArcGIS Pro (2.7 and earlier). It involves multiple uninitialized pointer vulnerabilities that can be triggered by parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user, requiring user interaction to open the malicious file.
