Software Description:
- ntfs-3g: read/write NTFS driver for FUSE

Details:

It was discovered that NTFS-3G incorrectly handled the ntfsck tool. If a
user or automated system were tricked into using ntfsck on a specially
crafted disk image, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-46790)

Roman Fiedler discovered that NTFS-3G incorrectly handled certain return
codes. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to intercept
protocol traffic between FUSE and the kernel. (CVE-2022-30783)

It was discovered that NTFS-3G incorrectly handled certain NTFS disk
images. If a user or automated system were tricked into mounting a
specially crafted disk image, a remote attacker could use this issue to
cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2022-30784, CVE-2022-30786, CVE-2022-30788, CVE-2022-30789)

Roman Fiedler discovered that NTFS-3G incorrectly handled certain file
