Synopsis
========
A vulnerability has been discovered in Blender allowing for
user-assisted arbitrary code execution.
Background
==========
Blender is a 3D creation, animation and publishing program.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/blender < 2.43 >= 2.43
Description
===========
Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research discovered an insecure use of the
"eval()" function in kmz_ImportWithMesh.py.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
Blender file (.kmz or .kml), resulting in the execution of arbitrary
Python code with the privileges of the user running Blender.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Blender users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/blender-2.43"
References
==========
