TITLE:
Blender KML/KMZ Import Command Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24232

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24232/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Blender 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/5780/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Blender, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the insecure use of the "eval()"
function in kmz_ImportWithMesh.py. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary Python commands by tricking a user into importing a
specially crafted "*.kml" or "*.kmz" file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.42a. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.43, which no longer includes the affected script.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Stefan Cornelius, Secunia Research.
