Ubuntu 5.10 : blender vulnerability (USN-238-2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20785

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Damian Put discovered that Blender did not properly validate a 'length' value in .blend files. Negative values led to an insufficiently sized memory allocation. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted .blend file, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Blender user.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected blender package.
