CVE-2007-4198: Brian Carrier The Slueth Kit

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 1.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The fs_data_put_str function in ntfs.c in fls in Brian Carrier The Sleuth Kit (TSK) before 2.09 does not validate a certain length value, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and prevent examination of certain NTFS files via a malformed NTFS image, which triggers a buffer over-read.

Affected products

• Brian Carrier The Slueth Kit: up to and including 2.08
