Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Sleuth Kit (TSK) version 4.6.6

Description An issue was discovered in The Sleuth Kit (TSK) where there is an off-by-one overwrite due to an underflow. This occurs in the hfind.cpp file, specifically when using a bogus hash table in the tools/hashtools directory.

Recommendations For version 4.6.6, consider restricting access to the hfind.cpp tool until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the hfind tool with bogus hash tables to minimize the risk of exploitation.
