| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in libewf. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to process a specially crafted file with oversized extended attribute metadata. Due to improper size validation, the library performs an out-of-bounds memory read, which can cause the application to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS), or potentially expose sensitive memory contents.
