A buffer overflow was discovered in NTFS-3G before 2022.10.3. Crafted metadata in an NTFS image can cause code execution. A local attacker can exploit this if the ntfs-3g binary is setuid root. A physically proximate attacker can exploit this if NTFS-3G software is configured to execute upon attachment of an external storage device.

A local attacker can exploit this if the ntfs-3g binary is setuid root.

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server. When a client connects to the VNC server, QEMU checks     whether the current number of connections crosses a certain threshold and if so, cleans up the previous     connection. If the previous connection happens to be in the handshake phase and fails, QEMU cleans up the     connection again, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference issue. This could allow a remote unauthenticated     client to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3354)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202301-01 (NTFS-3G: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - In NTFS-3G versions < 2021.8.22, when a specially crafted NTFS attribute is supplied to the function     ntfs_get_attribute_value, a heap buffer overflow can occur allowing for memory disclosure or denial of     service. The vulnerability is caused by an out-of-bound buffer access which can be triggered by mounting a     crafted ntfs partition. The root cause is a missing consistency check after reading an MFT record : the     bytes_in_use field should be less than the bytes_allocated field. When it is not, the parsing of the     records proceeds into the wild. (CVE-2021-33285)

  - In NTFS-3G versions < 2021.8.22, when a specially crafted unicode string is supplied in an NTFS image a     heap buffer overflow can occur and allow for code execution. (CVE-2021-33286)

  - In NTFS-3G versions < 2021.8.22, when specially crafted NTFS attributes are read in the function     ntfs_attr_pread_i, a heap buffer overflow can occur and allow for writing to arbitrary memory or denial of     service of the application. (CVE-2021-33287)

  - In NTFS-3G versions < 2021.8.22, when a specially crafted MFT section is supplied in an NTFS image a heap     buffer overflow can occur and allow for code execution. (CVE-2021-33289)

  - In NTFS-3G versions < 2021.8.22, when a specially crafted NTFS inode pathname is supplied in an NTFS image     a heap buffer overflow can occur resulting in memory disclosure, denial of service and even code     execution. (CVE-2021-35266)

  - NTFS-3G versions < 2021.8.22, a stack buffer overflow can occur when correcting differences in the MFT and     MFTMirror allowing for code execution or escalation of privileges when setuid-root. (CVE-2021-35267)

  - In NTFS-3G versions < 2021.8.22, when a specially crafted NTFS inode is loaded in the function     ntfs_inode_real_open, a heap buffer overflow can occur allowing for code execution and escalation of     privileges. (CVE-2021-35268)

  - NTFS-3G versions < 2021.8.22, when a specially crafted NTFS attribute from the MFT is setup in the     function ntfs_attr_setup_flag, a heap buffer overflow can occur allowing for code execution and escalation     of privileges. (CVE-2021-35269)

  - A crafted NTFS image can cause a NULL pointer dereference in ntfs_extent_inode_open in NTFS-3G <     2021.8.22. (CVE-2021-39251)

  - A crafted NTFS image can trigger an out-of-bounds read, caused by an invalid attribute in     ntfs_attr_find_in_attrdef, in NTFS-3G < 2021.8.22. (CVE-2021-39255)

  - A crafted NTFS image can cause a heap-based buffer overflow in ntfs_inode_lookup_by_name in NTFS-3G <     2021.8.22. (CVE-2021-39256)

  - A crafted NTFS image with an unallocated bitmap can lead to a endless recursive function call chain     (starting from ntfs_attr_pwrite), causing stack consumption in NTFS-3G < 2021.8.22. (CVE-2021-39257)
