Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-125 - A security flaw was found in the way the Sleuth Kit , a collection of UNIX-based command line tools allowing to investigate a computer, performed management of '.' file system entry. An attacker could use this flaw to evade detection by forensic analysis (hide certain files not to be scanned) by renaming the file in question it to be '.' file system entry. The original reports speaks about this attack vector to be present when scanning FAT file system. It is possible though, the flaw to be present on other file systems, which do not reserve usage of '.' entry for special purpose, too.

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : sleuthkit
Date : April 10, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated sleuthkit packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A security flaw was found in the way the Sleuth Kit (TSK), a collection
of UNIX-based command line tools allowing to investigate a computer,
performed management of \'.\' (dotfile) file system entry. An attacker
could use this flaw to evade detection by forensic analysis (hide
certain files not to be scanned) by renaming the file in question it
to be \'.\' file system entry.

The original reports speaks about this attack vector to be present
when scanning FAT (File Allocation Table) file system. It is possible
though, the flaw to be present on other file systems, which do not
reserve usage of \'.\' entry for special purpose, too.
