Published: Oct 31, 2022, 12:00:00 AM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 0.36% · Oct 25, 2026

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.
