Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Over-read in the NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler. An attacker can read past the end of a buffer by presenting a malicious NTFS image containing an invalid update sequence array.

Note: To be exploitable, the application must be processing archives from multiple untrusted sources in a single process, and be configured to allows users to observe filenames in their processed archives.
