  - A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Open Asset Import Library Assimp up to 5.4.3. Affected
    by this vulnerability is the function read_meshes in the library
    assimp/code/AssetLib/MDL/HalfLife/HL1MDLLoader.cpp. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow.
    It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and
    may be used. The project decided to collect all Fuzzer bugs in a main-issue to address them in the future.
