AI-suggested
Users should upgrade Blender to version 4.5.15 or later, or 5.2.3 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since the vulnerability is patched in these versions, applying the official update is the recommended remediation. No additional mitigations are specified.
Description
Blender versions before 4.5.15 and 5.x before 5.2.3 contain a heap buffer overflow vulnerability caused by an integer overflow in the ptcache_data_alloc() function when reading point cache files. An attacker can supply a crafted point cache file with a large totpoint value alongside a .blend file to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
