NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libfsntfs package and not the libfsntfs package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The libfsntfs_mft_entry_read_header function in libfsntfs_mft_entry.c in libfsntfs through 2018-04-20 allows remote attackers to cause an information disclosure (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted ntfs file. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this as described in libyal/libfsntfs issue 8 on GitHub
