CVE-2007-4035
Guidance Software EnCase does not properly handle (1) certain malformed MBR partition tables with many entries, which allows remote attackers to prevent logical collection of a disk image; (2) NTFS filesystems with directory loops, which allows remote attackers to prevent examination of certain directory contents; and (3) certain other malformed NTFS filesystems, which allows remote attackers to prevent examination of corrupted records. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of these issues, because physical collection can be used instead, because the vendor believes that relevant attackers typically do not corrupt an MBR or a filesystem, and because detection of a loop is valuable on its own

NOTA: el fabricante impugna la importancia de estos problemas, porque se puede usar la recopilación física en vez de lo anterior, ya que el fabricante cree que los atacantes pertinentes normalmente no corrompen un MBR o un sistema de archivos y porque la detección de un bucle is útil por sí misma."
