Summary
Dislocker through 0.7.3 contains a heap out-of-bounds read in get_dataset() and get_next_datum(), which never validate dataset and datum sizes against the metadata allocation. An attacker can craft a BitLocker volume image with inflated sizes that, when a user opens or mounts it, crashes dislocker or discloses adjacent heap memory. Exploitation requires that user action.
