USN-3914-1: NTFS-3G vulnerability
21 March 2019
NTFS-3G could be made to crash or potentially run programs as an administrator if executed with specially crafted arguments.
Releases
Packages
- ntfs-3g - read/write NTFS driver for FUSE
Details
A heap buffer overflow was discovered in NTFS-3G when executing it with a
relative mount point path that is too long. A local attacker could
potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code as the administrator.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 18.10
Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 16.04
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
