    <p>
    Damian Put has reported a flaw due to an integer overflow in the
    "get_bhead()" function, leading to a heap overflow when processing
    malformed ".blend" files.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user into opening a specially
    crafted ".blend" file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code
    with the permissions of the user running Blender.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Blender users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/blender-2.40"</code>
  </resolution>
