Summary
A buffer overflow in Assimp's ParseBoneTrafoKeys_3DGS_MDL7 function allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially access sensitive information by tricking a user into loading a maliciously crafted 3DGS MDL7 file. Red Hat products are not affected because their builds exclude the vulnerable code.
Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-120.
Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.

Mitigation checklist
- To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted 3DGS MDL7 files with applications that use the Assimp library. Do not import untrusted 3D GameStudio MDL7 (.mdl) files with Assimp or Assimp-based importers. Allowlist only trusted model files and formats the application needs.
