Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Sleuth Kit (TSK) versions 4.6.4 and earlier

Description The issue allows attackers to cause a denial of service. It is related to the function hfs cat traverse in tsk/fs/hfs.c, which does not properly determine when a key length is too large. This can lead to a SEGV on an unknown address with READ memory access in a tsk getu16 call in hfs dir open meta cb in tsk/fs/hfs dent.c.

Recommendations For versions 4.6.4 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the hfs cat traverse function in tsk/fs/hfs.c until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
