An integer underflow issue exists in ntfs-3g 2017.3.23. A local attacker could potentially exploit this by running /bin/ntfs-3g with specially crafted arguments from a specially crafted directory to cause a heap buffer overflow, resulting in a crash or the ability to execute arbitrary code. In installations where /bin/ntfs-3g is a setuid-root binary, this could lead to a local escalation of privileges.

NTFS-3G vulnerability

CVE-2019-9755 NTFS-3G vulnerability
Title: NTFS-3G vulnerability
Summary: NTFS-3G could be made to crash or potentially run programs as an
administrator if executed with specially crafted arguments.
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.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

CVE-2019-9755 [HIGH] CWE-122 ntfs-3g: heap-based buffer overflow leads to local root privilege escalation
ntfs-3g: heap-based buffer overflow leads to local root privilege escalation
An integer underflow issue exists in ntfs-3g 2017.3.23. A local attacker could potentially exploit this by running /bin/ntfs-3g with specially crafted arguments from a specially crafted directory to cause a heap buffer overflow, resulting in a crash or the ability to execute arbitrary code. In installations where /bin/ntfs-3g is a setuid-root binary, this could lead to a local escalation of privileges.
Statement: This flaw has a lower impact on Red Hat Enterprise Linux because the ntfs-3g tool is run in a supermin appliance, which is similar to a virtual machine instantiated on the fly, and it does not have the SUID bit set. Thus an attacker is very limited on what he can do to the vulnerable system.
