Package : ntfs-3g
CVE ID : CVE-2022-40284

Yuchen Zeng and Eduardo Vela discovered a buffer overflow in NTFS-3G, a
read-write NTFS driver for FUSE, due to incorrect validation of some of
the NTFS metadata. A local user can take advantage of this flaw for
local root privilege escalation.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:2017.3.23AR.3-4+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your ntfs-3g packages.
