Summary
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:2012.1.15AR.5-2.1+deb7u1. Note that this issue does not affect
the binary packages distributed in Debian in wheezy as ntfs-3g does not
use the embedded fuse-lite library.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:2014.2.15AR.2-1+deb8u1.
For the testing distribution (stretch) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your ntfs-3g packages.
