Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Sleuth Kit (TSK) versions 4.0.2 through 4.6.1

Description An issue was discovered in the function ntfs make data run in tsk/fs/ntfs.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.
