Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
The Sleuth Kit through 4.14.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the APFS filesystem keybag parser where the wrapped_key_parser class follows attacker-controlled length fields without bounds checking, causing heap reads past the allocated buffer. An attacker can craft a malicious APFS disk image that triggers information disclosure or crashes when processed by any Sleuth Kit tool that parses APFS volumes.
Analysis
Out-of-bounds read in Sleuth Kit through version 4.14.0 allows local attackers to disclose heap memory or crash the application via a malicious APFS disk image with crafted length fields in the keybag parser. The vulnerability requires user interaction to process the malicious image but affects all Sleuth Kit tools that parse APFS volumes, with a public fix available on GitHub.
