Descriptions

The ntfs-3g package before 1.913-2.fc7 in Fedora 7, and an ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu 7.10/Gutsy, assign incorrect permissions (setuid root) to mount.ntfs-3g, which allows local users with fuse group membership to read from and write to arbitrary block devices, possibly involving a file descriptor leak.

El paquete ntfs-3g anterior a 1.913-2.fc7 en Fedora 7, y en el paquete kntfs-3g package en Ubuntu 7.10/Gutsy, asigna de forma incorrecta los permisos (setuid root) en mount.ntfs-3g, el cual permite a usuarios locales siendo miembros de fuse leer y escribir dispositivos de bloque de su elección, posiblemente afectando a un descriptor de fichero débil.
