Yuchen Zeng and Eduardo Vela discovered a buffer overflow in NTFS-3G, a read-write NTFS driver for FUSE, due to incorrect validation of some of the NTFS metadata. A local user can take advantage of this flaw for local root privilege escalation.
For Debian 10 Buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1:2017.3.23AR.3-3+deb10u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your ntfs-3g packages.
For the detailed security status of ntfs-3g please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/ntfs-3g
