Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—
Severity7.8High · CVSS 3.1
Exploitation probability2.04 %higher than 81% of CVEs
Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitNot knownno public code found

An exploitable integer overflow exists in the upgrade of the legacy Mesh attribute 'tface' of the Blender open-source 3d creation suite v2.78c. A specially crafted .blend file can cause an integer overflow resulting in a buffer overflow which can allow for code execution under the context of the application. An attacker can convince a user to open the file or use it as a library in order to trigger this vulnerability.
