GLSA-200704-19 : Blender: User-assisted remote execution of arbitrary code

high Nessus Plugin ID 25107

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200704-19 (Blender: User-assisted remote execution of arbitrary code)

 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.

Solution

All Blender users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-gfx/blender-2.43'
