Several vulnerabilities were discovered in NTFS-3G, a read-write NTFS driver for FUSE. A local user can take advantage of these flaws for local root privilege escalation.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 1:2022.10.3-5+deb13u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ntfs-3g packages.
