TITLE:
EnCase Device Configuration Overlay Data Acquisition Weakness

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA15340

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/15340/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
EnCase 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/5099/

DESCRIPTION:
Arne Vidström has reported a weakness in EnCase, which can be
exploited to hide information on a disk.

The weakness is caused due to missing support of Device Configuration
Overlays (DCO) and therefore causes the program to not acquire parts
of a disk using this feature.

The weakness has been reported in EnCase Forensic Edition 4.18a.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Don't rely on EnCase acquiring all information stored on a disk.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Arne Vidström
