OpenSCAD: Buffer overflow — GLSA 202107-35

A buffer overflow in OpenSCAD might allow remote attacker(s) to execute arbitrary code.

Affected packages

media-gfx/openscad on all architectures
Affected versions < 2021.01
Unaffected versions >= 2021.01

Background

OpenSCAD is the programmer’s solid 3D CAD modeller.

Description

A buffer overflow exists in OpenSCAD when parsing STL files.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted STL file using OpenSCAD, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All OpenSCAD users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/openscad-2021.01"
