Debian: DSA-3780-1: ntfs-3g security update
Summary
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 the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:2014.2.15AR.2-1+deb8u3.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:2016.2.22AR.1-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your ntfs-3g packages.
