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