It was found that a specially crafted LUKS header could trick cryptsetup into disabling encryption during the recovery of the device. An attacker with physical access to the medium, such as a flash disk, could use this flaw to force a user into permanently disabling the encryption layer of that medium.
Se ha detectado que un encabezado LUKS especialmente diseñada podía engañar a cryptsetup para que deshabilitara el cifrado durante la recuperación del dispositivo. Un atacante con acceso físico al medio, como un disco flash, podría usar este fallo para forzar a un usuario a deshabilitar permanentemente la capa de cifrado de ese medio.
