high Nessus Plugin ID 162427

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3055 advisory.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in NTFS-3G, a read-write NTFS driver for FUSE. A local user can take advantage of these flaws for local root privilege escalation. CVE-2022-30783 An invalid return code in fuse_kern_mount enables intercepting of libfuse-lite protocol traffic between NTFS-3G and the kernel when using libfuse-lite. CVE-2022-30784 A crafted NTFS image can cause heap exhaustion in ntfs_get_attribute_value. CVE-2022-30785 A file handle created in fuse_lib_opendir, and later used in fuse_lib_readdir, enables arbitrary memory read and write operations when using libfuse-lite.
CVE-2022-30786 A crafted NTFS image can cause a heap-based buffer overflow in ntfs_names_full_collate.
CVE-2022-30787 An integer underflow in fuse_lib_readdir enables arbitrary memory read operations when using libfuse-lite. CVE-2022-30788 A crafted NTFS image can cause a heap-based buffer overflow in ntfs_mft_rec_alloc. CVE-2022-30789 A crafted NTFS image can cause a heap-based buffer overflow in ntfs_check_log_client_array. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1:2016.2.22AR.1+dfsg-1+deb9u3. We recommend that you upgrade your ntfs-3g packages. For the detailed security status of ntfs-3g please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/ntfs-3g Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
