Dive into the Fedora 29 dislocker update that tackles CVE-2018-0497, bringing crucial security enhancements and vital patches to bolster system integrity.
- Update to 2.13.0 - CVE-2018-0497 Release notes: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/projects/mbed-tls/ Security Advisory: ---- Make package installable again by fixing Requires

Summary

Dislocker has been designed to read BitLocker encrypted partitions ("drives")

under a Linux system. The driver has the capability to read/write partitions

encrypted using Microsoft Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 (AES-CBC, AES-XTS,

128 or 256 bits, with or without the Elephant diffuser, encrypted partitions);

BitLocker-To-Go encrypted partitions (USB/FAT32 partitions).

The file name where the BitLocker encrypted partition will be decrypted needs

to be given. This may take a long time, depending on the size of the encrypted

partition. But afterward, once the partition is decrypted, the access to the

NTFS partition will be faster than with FUSE. Another thing to think about is

the size of the disk (same size as the volume that is tried to be decrypted).

Nevertheless, once the partition is decrypted, the file can be mounted as any

NTFS partition and won't have any link to the original BitLocker partition.
