Title: NTFS-3G: Privilege escalation
Date: January 11, 2017
Bugs: #550970
ID: 201701-19
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Synopsis
========
A vulnerability in NTFS-3G allows local users to gain root privileges.
Background
==========
NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for various
operating systems.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 sys-fs/ntfs3g < 2016.2.22 >= 2016.2.22
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”
