Description Alexander Bergmann 2018-06-06 16:08:16 UTC 
CVE-2018-11740

An issue was discovered in libtskbase.a in The Sleuth Kit (TSK) from release
4.0.2 through to 4.6.1. An out-of-bounds read of a memory region was found in
the function tsk_UTF16toUTF8 in tsk/base/tsk_unicode.c which could be leveraged
by an attacker to disclose information or manipulated to read from unmapped
memory causing a denial of service attack.
