=========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-238-2 January 06, 2006 blender vulnerability CVE-2005-4470 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: blender The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.37a-1ubuntu1.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. The original advisory in USN-238-1 accidentially contained a wrong CVE number and advisory text. We apologize for this error. Details follow: 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.
