+ <title>NTFS-3G: Privilege escalation</title>
+ <synopsis>A vulnerability in NTFS-3G allows local users to gain root
+ privileges.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">ntfs-3g</product>
+ <announced>2017-02-19</announced>

+ <bug>607912</bug>
+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="sys-fs/ntfs3g" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">2016.2.22-r2</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">2016.2.22-r2</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for various
+ operating systems.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>The NTFS-3G driver does not properly clear environment variables before
+ invoking mount or umount.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>This flaw is similar to the vulnerability described in
+ “GLSA-201701-19” and “GLSA-201603-04” referenced below but is now
+ implemented in the NTFS-3G driver itself.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A local user could gain root privileges.</p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time. However, on Gentoo when the
+ “suid” USE flag is not set (which is the default) an attacker cannot
+ exploit the flaw.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All NTFS-3G users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-fs/ntfs3g-2016.2.22-r2"
+ </code>
+ </resolution>
