Firstly, we appricate truecrypt team comments but on the other hand we do not 
agree on some.


--Adonis Comment--

I do not agree with some of truecrypt comments specially the quoted text below.


What if you had  created a virtual disk  and give that to  someone. That someone

use it as his/her own disk and  decided to change the password because they  own

the disk  now (You  give them  to them  with the  pass). So  they did change the

passowrd, but the originator  can still access that  disk if he/she replace  the

passphrase  bytes in  the binary  file. So  I consider  this an  attack on  data

INTEGRITY and  data AVAILABILITY since the legitimate user will be denied access

to the disk after replacing the passphrase bytes.

"In conclusion, this is not a "security bug", but design/feature. Also,

to exploit the design, the adversary would have to know your password

first (or have your keyfiles). That means, for example, that he would

capture it using a keystroke logger. If that was the case, then all

security would be practically lost on that machine."
