The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
