Updated ntfs-3g packages has been released for Debian



Package : ntfs-3g
Version : 1:2012.1.15AR.5-2.1+deb7u3
CVE ID : CVE-2017-0358

Jann Horn of Google Project Zero discovered that NTFS-3G, a read-write
NTFS driver for FUSE, does not scrub the environment before executing
modprobe with elevated privileges. A local user can take advantage of
this flaw for local root privilege escalation.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
1:2012.1.15AR.5-2.1+deb7u3.

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