Integer Overflow, Infoleak
CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

Multiple integer overflows in TrueCrypt 7.1a allow local users to (1) obtain sensitive information via vectors involving a crafted item->OriginalLength value in the MainThreadProc function in EncryptedIoQueue.c or (2) cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving large StartingOffset and Length values in the ProcessVolumeDeviceControlIrp function in Ntdriver.c.

Infoleak
CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

The ProcessVolumeDeviceControlIrp function in Ntdriver.c in TrueCrypt 7.1a allows local users to bypass access restrictions and obtain sensitive information about arbitrary files via a (1) TCIOCTLOPENTEST or (2) TCIOCTLGETSYSTEMDRIVECONFIG IOCTL call.

CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

The IsDriveLetterAvailable method in Driver/Ntdriver.c in TrueCrypt 7.0, VeraCrypt before 1.15, and CipherShed, when running on Windows, does not properly validate drive letter symbolic links, which allows local users to mount an encrypted volume over an existing drive letter and gain privileges via an entry in the /GLOBAL?? directory.

CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

The (1) IsVolumeAccessibleByCurrentUser and (2) MountDevice methods in Ntdriver.c in TrueCrypt 7.0, VeraCrypt before 1.15, and CipherShed, when running on Windows, do not check the impersonation level of impersonation tokens, which allows local users to impersonate a user at SecurityIdentify level and gain access to other users' mounted encrypted volumes.

Infoleak
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

TrueCrypt 5.0 stores pre-boot authentication passwords in the BIOS Keyboard buffer and does not clear this buffer before and after use, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the physical memory locations associated with this buffer. NOTE: the researcher mentions a response from the vendor denying the vulnerability.
