"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201611-20
(TestDisk: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    A buffer overflow can be triggered within TestDisk when a malicious disk
      image is attempting to be recovered.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could coerce the victim to run TestDisk against their
      malicious image.  This may be leveraged by an attacker to crash TestDisk
      and gain control of program execution.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
