The critical vulnerability has been ascribed CVE ID code CVE-2021-21832. The software vulnerability, if unpatched, can lead to the full compromise of a vulnerable system. Cisco Talos released a vulnerability report on August 17th, 2021 concerning a critical vulnerability in the Daemon Tools Pro product. Security researcher Piotr Bania at Cisco Talos Intelligence discovered a security flaw in Daemon Tools. This time, public information was released about a critical vulnerability in Disc Soft Ltd Daemon‘s Daemon Tools Pro product. Daemon has been known to have issues with malware and spyware in the past, especially the free versions. Software that uses virtualization technology like offerings from VMware can also be susceptible to vulnerabilities or bugs, just like any other software can. The technology was very popular in the early and late 2000s when transferring physical discs to virtual ‘ISO’ files was trendy, but today Daemon Tools is used for other purposes and both Windows and macOS can natively process image files by default without the need for supplementary software. Virtual images can be created from physical discs and ’emulated’ as well as shared and converted to other formats. Image files can be anything from a virtual audio CD to a data image like a PC game disc. Users are able to create ‘image’ files (like those that are used for a system backup) and add as many virtual drives as they want. The software is revolutionary in that it allows users to create ‘virtual drives’ or ‘clones’ that can be mounted and unmounted without the need for a physical component. Pay close attention during setup and read every page very, very carefully.Most users familiar with IT, gaming, virtualization, and disc imaging software are bound to have used Disc Soft Ltd Daemons’ Daemon Tools product suite at some point. Please note, DAEMON Tools Pro will by default install extra programs as well as its own files.
Shell integration allows you to carry out several functions from the Explorer context menu, and there's even a command line interface to help you automate common tasks.
You can work through the main program interface, for instance, or via a handy desktop gadget. There's a lot of power here, then, but DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced provides many ways to access its various features. You also get support for emulating up to 4 IDE devices. The Pro version can create images from scratch, edit their contents or convert them between various formats. The program can also create images from physical discs. The program can mount a host of image and file types - ISO, ISZ, CUE, MDS/ MDF/ MDX, B5T/ B6T, BWT, CCD, NRG, CDI, VHD, VMDK, TC, VDI, even ZIP. DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced is a comprehensive suite of tools to help you work with disc images and virtual drives.
