CRITICAL:
Less critical

Exposure of sensitive information

Local system

Camouflage 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/13178/

DESCRIPTION:
Adonis (a.k.a. NtWaK0) and Abed (a.k.a. NoPh0BiA) have discovered a
security issue in Camouflage, which can be exploited by malicious
people to gain knowledge of sensitive information.

The problem is that the passwords for the carrier file can be
replaced by a new password generated by an attacker by replacing
specific bytes within the target carrier file. This can be exploited
to read hidden messages.

The security issue is confirmed in version 1.2.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Use another product.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
