Basis Technology · The Sleuth Kit · CVE-2018-11739
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
The Sleuth Kit versions 4.0.2 through 4.6.1
**Description**
An issue was discovered in the function `raw read` in `tsk/img/raw.c`, which could allow an attacker to disclose information or cause a denial of service attack by manipulating an out-of-bounds read of a memory region.
**Recommendations**
For versions 4.0.2 through 4.6.1, consider restricting access to the `raw read` function in `tsk/img/raw.c` until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `raw read` function to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
