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_security_descriptor_values_free function in libfsntfs_security_descriptor_values.c in libfsntfs through 2018-04-20 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (double-free) via a crafted ntfs file. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this as described in libyal/libfsntfs issue 8 on GitHub
