Summary
Dislocker through 0.7.3 contains an integer underflow in get_vmk() and get_fvek() that lets hexdump() read past a heap buffer. An attacker who supplies a malicious BitLocker volume image with a datum size smaller than the 36-byte AES-CCM header can trigger the over-read, which crashes dislocker. The flaw is classified as CWE-191, and exploitation requires a user to process the crafted image.

Description from the CNA
Dislocker through 0.7.3 contains an integer underflow vulnerability in get_vmk() and get_fvek() that allows attackers to trigger out-of-bounds heap reads via crafted datum sizes. Attackers can supply a malicious BitLocker volume image with a datum_size smaller than the 36-byte AES-CCM header, causing hexdump() to over-read and crash dislocker.
