Jean-Sebastien Guay-Leroux reported an integer underflow in the
|
|
file_printf() function of the "file" utility which is bundled with The
|
|
Sleuth Kit (CVE-2007-1536, GLSA 200703-26). Note that Gentoo is not
|
|
affected by the improper fix for this vulnerability (identified as
|
|
CVE-2007-2799, see GLSA 200705-25) since version 4.20 of "file" was
|
|
never shipped with The Sleuth Kit ebuilds.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to run The Sleuth Kit on a file
|
|
system containing a specially crafted file that would trigger a
|
|
heap-based buffer overflow possibly leading to the execution of
|
|
arbitrary code with the rights of the user running The Sleuth Kit.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All The Sleuth Kit users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-forensics/sleuthkit-2.0.9"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
