TrueCrypt 4.3, when installed setuid root, allows local users to cause a denial of service (filesystem unavailability) or gain privileges by mounting a crafted TrueCrypt volume, as demonstrated using (1) /usr/bin or (2) another user's home directory, a different issue than CVE-2007-1589.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-1738 affects TrueCrypt 4.3 on Linux when it is installed with setuid root privileges. A local user could mount a crafted volume in a way that makes filesystems unavailable or may gain elevated privileges. This is mainly a legacy-host risk, but it matters where old TrueCrypt installations remain on multi-user systems. Exposure is likely limited to Linux systems still running TrueCrypt 4.3 with setuid root enabled, especially shared servers or workstations with untrusted local users. Internet-facing exposure is not indicated by the sources. Prioritize only if legacy TrueCrypt 4.3 is present on shared Linux systems. For most modern environments, urgency is low unless asset discovery confirms exposure. Mitigation focus: Inventory Linux hosts for TrueCrypt 4.3 installations.; Remove setuid root permissions from TrueCrypt where operationally possible.; Restrict local shell access to trusted users only..
