    Package        : ntfs-3g
    Version        : 1:2017.3.23AR.3-4+deb11u5
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-40706


    Andrea Bocchetti discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in NTFS-3G, a
    read-write NTFS driver for FUSE. A local user can take advantage of this
    flaw for local root privilege escalation.


    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    1:2017.3.23AR.3-4+deb11u5.

    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

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
