Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libesedb versions prior to 2018-04-01

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a heap-based buffer over-read via a crafted esedb file. This is due to a problem in the libesedb page read values function in libesedb page.c. The vendor has disputed this issue as described in the GitHub issue comments.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2018-04-01, consider restricting access to crafted esedb files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the libesedb page read values function in libesedb page.c to minimize the risk of exploitation.
