Description

An integer underflow issue exists in ntfs-3g 2017.3.23. A local attacker could potentially exploit this by running /bin/ntfs-3g with specially crafted arguments from a specially crafted directory to cause a heap buffer overflow, resulting in a crash or the ability to execute arbitrary code. In installations where /bin/ntfs-3g is a setuid-root binary, this could lead to a local escalation of privileges.

Affected configurations

• tuxera ntfs-3g 2017.3.23 • redhat enterprise linux 8.0 • redhat enterprise linux eus 8.1 • redhat enterprise linux eus 8.2 • redhat enterprise linux eus 8.4 • redhat enterprise linux server 7.0 • redhat enterprise linux server aus 8.2 • redhat enterprise linux server aus 8.4 • redhat enterprise linux server tus 8.2 • redhat enterprise linux server tus 8.4
