Ubuntu Security Notice USN-238-2 - Damian Put discovered that Blender did not properly validate a length value in .blend files. Negative values led to an insufficiently sized memory allocation. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted .blend file, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Blender user.
