About:
white_dune is a graphical VRML97 editor, simple NURBS/Superformula 3D modeller and animation tool. VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the Web via browser plugins ("HTML for realtime 3D"). It has support for animation, real-time interaction, and multimedia (images, movies, and sounds). white_dune can read, create and display VRML97 files and let the user change the scenegraph/fields. It also has support for stereoscopic view via "quadbuffer"-capable stereo visuals, and support for 3D input devices like a joystick, spaceball, or magnetic tracker.

[»] white_dune security warning
by MUFTI - Jan 3rd 2008 13:04:59

Cause of a buffer overflow and a format string error, all older versions than 0.29beta795 and 0.28pl13 should not be used.<BR/>
This also includes <a href="http://dune.sourceforge.net/">dune-0.13</a> (white_dune is a fork of dune-0.13).<BR/>
Unfortunatly, the security problems are located in a errormessage routines, so it is rather simple to build a exploit.
