medium Nessus Plugin ID 44896

Language:

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-201001-07 (Blender: Untrusted search path)

Steffen Joeris reported that Blender's BPY_interface calls PySys_SetArgv() in such a way that Python prepends sys.path with an empty string.
Impact :

A local attacker could entice a user to run 'blender' from a directory containing a specially crafted Python module, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
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-2.48a-r3'
