An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2007-4196 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4196/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4196/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-4196","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4196/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-4196","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2007-4196","GHSA-72mr-454g-5j99"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Forensic analysis library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malformed NTFS image causes a long loop in The Sleuth Kit, leading to denial of service and preventing file examination.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"the_slueth_kit","vendor":"brian_carrier"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"icat in Brian Carrier The Sleuth Kit (TSK) before 2.09 misinterprets a certain memory location as the holder of a loop iteration count, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (long loop) and prevent examination of certain NTFS files via a malformed NTFS image.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4196","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4197"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4195"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-08-08","related":[{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4197","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-08-08"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4198","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-08-08"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-08-08"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4200","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-08-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A malformed NTFS image causes a long loop in The Sleuth Kit, leading to denial of service and preventing file examination.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4196/"}
