CVE-2008-6793

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: DFLabs PTK versions 0.1 through 1.0

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters after an arg1= sequence in a filename within a forensic image. This is due to a problem in the get file type function in lib/file content.php.

Recommendations: For DFLabs PTK versions 0.1 through 1.0, consider restricting access to the get file type function in lib/file content.php until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using filenames with shell metacharacters after an arg1= sequence in a forensic image.
