Description

First Last has reported a weakness in CleanCache, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose "securely" deleted data on a disk.

The problem is that a security feature, which should delete files securely using single, DoD and NSA wiping algorithms, doesn't do this properly.

Successful exploitation allows a malicious person to recover the deleted data using various unspecified publicly available tools.

The weakness has been reported in version 2.19. Other versions may also be affected.


Solution
