The fs_data_put_str function in ntfs.c in fls in Brian Carrier The Sleuth Kit (TSK) before 2.09 does not validate a certain length value, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and prevent examination of certain NTFS files via a malformed NTFS image, which triggers a buffer over-read.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malformed NTFS disk image can crash the fls utility in The Sleuth Kit before 2.09. This matters most to forensic teams that process evidence or submitted images from untrusted sources, because a crafted image could disrupt analysis or hide access to certain files during an investigation. Exposure is most likely on analyst workstations, forensic labs, IR jump boxes, or automation that uses TSK fls against NTFS images. General servers are unlikely to be exposed unless they process untrusted disk images with vulnerable TSK versions. Prioritize where forensic teams rely on older TSK versions for incident response or legal evidence review. The business risk is investigation disruption, not confirmed system compromise. Mitigation focus: Upgrade The Sleuth Kit to 2.09 or later where feasible.; Check current vendor or project guidance for maintained release recommendations.; Treat submitted NTFS images as untrusted forensic inputs..
