<title>NTFS-3G: Privilege escalation</title>
<synopsis>A vulnerability in NTFS-3G allows local users to gain root
privileges.

<affected>
<package name="sys-fs/ntfs3g" auto="yes" arch="*">

<background>
<p>NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for various
operating systems.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>NTFS-3G is affected by the same vulnerability as reported in “GLSA
201603-04” when the bundled fuse-lite implementation is used.
</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
“external-fuse” USE flag is set or the “suid” USE flag is not set
then NTFS-3G is not affected. Both of these cases are the default
configuration.
</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"
</code>
</resolution>
