A vulnerability was detected in Assimp up to 6.0.4. Affected is the function glTF2Importer::ImportEmbeddedTextures in the library code/AssetLib/glTF2/glTF2Importer.cpp of the component TF File Handler. The manipulation results in null pointer dereference. The attack is only possible with local access. The exploit is now public and may be used. It is advisable to implement a patch to correct this issue. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.
