{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2019-9755","details":"An integer underflow issue exists in ntfs-3g 2017.3.23. A local attacker could potentially exploit this by running /bin/ntfs-3g with specially crafted arguments from a specially crafted directory to cause a heap buffer overflow, resulting in a crash or the ability to execute arbitrary code. In installations where /bin/ntfs-3g is a setuid-root binary, this could lead to a local escalation of privileges.","modified":"2026-02-04T03:33:45.421790Z","published":"2019-03-21T00:00:00Z","related":["USN-3914-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2019-9755"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2019-9755"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-3914-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-9755"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ntfs-3g","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ntfs-3g@1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2+esm4?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy/trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu1","1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2","1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2+esm1","1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2+esm2","1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2+esm3","1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2+esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ntfs-3g","binary_version":"1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2+esm4"},{"binary_name":"ntfs-3g-dev","binary_version":"1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2+esm4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-9755.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ntfs-3g","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ntfs-3g@1:2015.3.14AR.1-1ubuntu0.2?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:2015.3.14AR.1-1ubuntu0.2"}]}],"versions":["1:2014.2.15AR.3-3","1:2015.3.14AR.1-1","1:2015.3.14AR.1-1build1","1:2015.3.14AR.1-1ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"ntfs-3g","binary_version":"1:2015.3.14AR.1-1ubuntu0.2"},{"binary_name":"ntfs-3g-dev","binary_version":"1:2015.3.14AR.1-1ubuntu0.2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-9755.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ntfs-3g","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ntfs-3g@1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.04.1?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.04.1"}]}],"versions":["1:2016.2.22AR.2-2","1:2017.3.23-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"libntfs-3g88","binary_version":"1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"ntfs-3g","binary_version":"1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.04.1"},{"binary_name":"ntfs-3g-dev","binary_version":"1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.04.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-9755.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"high"}]}
