Description juneau 2023-08-30 12:16:38 UTC 
A buffer overflow was discovered in NTFS-3G before 2022.10.3. Crafted metadata in an NTFS image can cause code execution. A local attacker can exploit this if the ntfs-3g binary is setuid root. A physically proximate attacker can exploit this if NTFS-3G software is configured to execute upon attachment of an external storage device.
Comment 2 Sandipan Roy 2023-08-31 05:02:24 UTC 
Created ntfs-3g tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: epel-all [bug 2236365]
Affects: fedora-all [bug 2236366]
Comment 4 Sandipan Roy 2023-09-08 08:29:03 UTC 
Changing the impact to Low as,

For RHEL, that provides libguestfs-winsupport, That's Low Impact, Confidentiality/Integrity as None and Availability as Low because even if an attacker can trick a high-privileged user into opening a malicious NTFS with a very long mount point, he would be confined in a temporary VM without network and he could read/write only the malicious NTFS image itself.

On Fedora, however, ntfs-3g is directly shipped and it is not run in a temporary VM. For these reasons, the Impact there is Moderate. In any case, the ntfs-3g binaries are not SUID, so the attacker needs to trick a high-privileged user to open a malicious NTFS filesystem with a very long mount point.
