ntfs-3g vulnerability

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 18.10
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary

NTFS-3G could be made to crash or potentially run programs as an
administrator if executed with specially crafted arguments.

Software Description

  • 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
ntfs-3g1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.10.1
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
ntfs-3g1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.04.1
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
ntfs-3g1:2015.3.14AR.1-1ubuntu0.2

To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
