Descriptions

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.

Existe un problema de desbordamiento de enteros en ntfs-3g versión 2017.3.23. Un atacante local podría potencialmente aprovechar esto mediante la ejecución del archivo /bin/ntfs-3g con argumentos especialmente creados desde un directorio especialmente creado para causar un desbordamiento del búfer de la pila, lo que resulta en un bloqueo o la capacidad de ejecutar código arbitrario. En instalaciones donde /bin/ntfs-3g es un binario setuid-root, esto podría conllevar a una escalada local de privilegios.
