CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

Local system

DriveCrypt Plus Pack 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/19669/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been discovered in DriveCrypt Plus Pack, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive
information.

The security issue is caused due to the BIOS keyboard buffer not
being properly flushed when pre-boot authentication is used and can
be exploited to disclose the used password.

The security issue is confirmed in version 3.9. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to an affected system.

Do not use pre-boot authentication.
