Package: blender Version: 2.35-1.1 Severity: serious Tags: security Hello Masayuki,
It seems there is a trivially exploitable symlink attack in blender: To reproduce: 1) ln -s $HOME/foo /tmp/quit.blend 2) run blender 3) Create some objects 4) quit blender 5) blender output: Saved session recovery to /tmp/quit.blend Blender quit 6) Now $HOME/foo has been written to. Looking at the code: ./source/blender/blenkernel/intern/blender.c line 666 (no joke): /* no undo state to save */ if(undobase.first==undobase.last) return; BLI_make_file_string("/", str, U.tempdir, "quit.blend"); file = open(str,O_BINARY+O_WRONLY+O_CREAT+O_TRUNC, 0666); if(file == -1) { printf("Unable to save %s\n", str); return; } blender needs to also set O_EXCL when opening the file to prevent the symlink attack. However it seems a better fix to save this file in $HOME/.blender: if several users run blender on the same machine, only the first one will benefit of the /tmp/quit.blend.
