Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to integer overflow in the modifier_mdef_compact_influences functionality of the Blender open-source 3d creation suite. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted .blend file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code under the context of the application.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
