NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream encfs package and not the encfs package as distributed by Ubuntu.

SSL_Cipher.cpp in EncFS before 1.7.0 uses an improper combination of an AES cipher and a CBC cipher mode for encrypted filesystems, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a watermark attack.
