========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3914-2 April 17, 2019
ntfs-3g update ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 18.10 - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: A hardening measure was added to NTFS-3G. Software Description: - ntfs-3g: read/write NTFS driver for FUSE Details: USN-3914-1 fixed vulnerabilities in NTFS-3G. As an additional hardening measure, this update removes the setuid bit from the ntfs-3g binary. Original advisory 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-3g 1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.10.2 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: ntfs-3g 1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.04.2 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: ntfs-3g 1:2015.3.14AR.1-1ubuntu0.3 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
