Fixed In Version: ntfs3g-2021.8.22 Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
The ntfs3g package is susceptible to an input validation flaw. A crafted NTFS image with invalid values could trigger an improper check. This incorrect check causes an integer overflow which then leads to a heap overflow. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

Description Pedro Sampaio 2021-09-06 16:50:42 UTC 
From https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/08/30/1:

```
Security vulnerabilities were identified in the open source NTFS-3G and NTFSPROGS software. These vulnerabilities were confirmed and resolved. To our knowledge, these vulnerabilities have not been exploited.

These vulnerabilities may allow an attacker using a maliciously crafted NTFS-formatted image file or external storage to potentially execute arbitrary privileged code, if the attacker has either local access and the ntfs-3g binary is setuid root, or if the attacker has physical access to an external port to a computer which is configured to run the ntfs-3g binary or one of the ntfsprogs tools when the external storage is plugged into the computer. These vulnerabilities result from incorrect validation of some of the NTFS metadata that could potentially cause buffer overflows, which could be exploited by an attacker. Common ways for attackers to gain physical access to a machine is through social engineering or an evil maid attack on an unattended computer.

We recommend installing and applying the update with the security fixes, and advise to follow security guidance and frameworks such as NIST for assessing and improving an organization’s abilities to prevent, detect, and respond to security threats and cyber attacks.

AFFECTED PRODUCTS: All previous versions of open source NTFS-3G and NTFSPROGS.

WORKAROUND: None

SOLUTION: Upgrade to 2021.8.22
