VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/13630/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
CleanCache 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/4462/

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:
Use another product.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
First Last, wbglinks.net.
