NTFS-3G update brings multiple security fixes
NTFS-3G 2026.9.18 fixes several heap out-of-bounds reads and writes, heap corruption and denial-of-service issues in the FUSE-based NTFS driver. The release also addresses ACL-inheritance handling and stale $MFTMirr data after relocating the first $MFT extent.
Systems that use NTFS-3G should review the release notes and update; the fixes cover a range of code paths rather than one single vulnerability. The Phoronix forum page returned 403, so I couldn’t verify discussion or reactions.
