CVE-2021-39263

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NTFS-3G versions prior to 2021.8.22

Description A crafted NTFS image can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by an unsanitized attribute in ntfs get attribute value. This issue may allow an attacker to access confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2021.8.22, update to version 2021.8.22 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of NTFS images from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
