CVE-2010-0221: Kingston Datatraveler Blackbox

Low severity, CVSS 2.1. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Kingston DataTraveler BlackBox (DTBB), DataTraveler Secure Privacy Edition (DTSP), and DataTraveler Elite Privacy Edition (DTEP) USB flash drives validate passwords with a program running on the host computer rather than the device hardware, which allows physically proximate attackers to access the cleartext drive contents via a modified program.

Affected products

• Kingston Datatraveler Blackbox: any version
• Kingston Datatraveler Elite: any version
• Kingston Datatraveler Secure: any version
