Blender "imb_loadhdr()" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Secunia Advisory: SA29818  
Release Date: 2008-04-21

Critical:
Moderately critical
Impact: System access
Where: From remote
Solution Status: Vendor Workaround

Software:Blender 2.x

CVE reference:CVE-2008-1102 (Secunia mirror)



Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Blender, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "imb_loadhdr()" function in source/blender/imbuf/intern/radiance_hdr.c, which can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted Blender (*.blend) file containing a malicious Radiance RGBE image.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.45. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Fixed in the SVN repository.

Do not open untrusted Radiance RGBE (*.hdr) or Blender (*.blend) files.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Stefan Cornelius, Secunia Research
