More information:

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in various parsers of Blender, a 3D modeller/ renderer. Malformed .blend model files and malformed multimedia files (AVI, BMP, HDR, CIN, IRIS, PNG, TIFF) may result in the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2.72.b+dfsg0-3+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your blender packages.
