How to fix?

There is no fixed version for assimp.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read due to the HL1MDLLoader::validate_header function, which doesn't check the file size before trying to access the buffer/header. An attacker can read data outside the intended buffer boundaries by manipulating the input data to the function.

Note: This is only exploitable if the attacker has local access to the system where the software is running.
