sys-fs/ntfs3g*< 2017.3.23-r3>= 2017.3.23-r3

Background

NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for various operating systems.

Description

An integer underflow issue exists in NTFS-3G which may cause a heap buffer overflow with crafted input.

Impact

A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code while a local attacker may be able to escalate privileges.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Affected packages

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
sys-fs/ntfs3g*< 2016.2.22-r2>= 2016.2.22-r2

Background

NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for various operating systems.

Description

The NTFS-3G driver does not properly clear environment variables before invoking mount or umount.

This flaw is similar to the vulnerability described in “GLSA-201701-19” and “GLSA-201603-04” referenced below but is now implemented in the NTFS-3G driver itself.

Impact

A local user could gain root privileges.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time. However, on Gentoo when the “suid” USE flag is not set (which is the default) an attacker cannot exploit the flaw.

Resolution

All NTFS-3G users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-fs/ntfs3g-2016.2.22-r2"

Affected packages

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
sys-fs/ntfs3g*< 2016.2.22>= 2016.2.22

Background

NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for various operating systems.

Description

NTFS-3G is affected by the same vulnerability as reported in “GLSA 201603-04” when the bundled fuse-lite implementation is used.

Impact

A local user could gain root privileges.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time. However, on Gentoo when the “external-fuse” USE flag is set or the “suid” USE flag is not set then NTFS-3G is not affected. Both of these cases are the default configuration.

Resolution

All NTFS-3G users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-fs/ntfs3g-2016.2.22"
