CVE-2026-40026 Apr 08, 21:35 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Out-of-bounds read in The Sleuth Kit through 4.14.0 allows local attackers with user interaction to disclose sensitive information via a crafted ISO9660 image, exploiting the parse_susp() function's failure to validate field lengths before copying SUSP extension data into stack buffers. The vulnerability can also trigger infinite parsing loops with malformed zero-length SUSP entries. Patch available from upstream repository.

CVE-2026-40025 Apr 08, 21:35 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

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.

CVE-2026-40024 Apr 08, 21:35 HIGH PATCH This Week

Path traversal in The Sleuth Kit (tsk_recover) through version 4.14.0 allows local attackers to write files outside intended recovery directories via malicious filesystem images. Crafted filenames with ../ sequences in processed disk images can overwrite arbitrary files, enabling potential code execution through shell configuration or cron file manipulation. Exploitation requires user interaction (processing attacker-supplied filesystem image). No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
