Vulnerability Spotlight: Multiple Unpatched Vulnerabilities in Blender Identified
Summary: Cisco Talos disclosed multiple vulnerabilities in Blender, the free open-source 3D modeling and animation tool, that arise from improper parsing and handling of files and can lead to integer overflow or buffer overflow conditions allowing arbitrary code execution on an affected host. Blender declined to address the issues, stating that "fixing these issues one by one is also a waste of time," and later released version 2.79a to address them.
What's compelling: An attacker who convinces a Blender user to open a specially crafted file can gain a foothold and use it to further compromise an organization's network - and Talos notes that targeted phishing against users of specific software is a proven path to that outcome.
