OpenHarmony-v3.1.2 and prior versions have a heap overflow vulnerability. Local attackers can trigger a heap overflow and get network sensitive information.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5463-1 - 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. 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.
A crafted NTFS image can cause a heap-based buffer overflow in ntfs_check_log_client_array in NTFS-3G through 2021.8.22.
ntfsck in NTFS-3G through 2021.8.22 has a heap-based buffer overflow involving buffer+512*3-2. NOTE: the upstream position is that ntfsck is deprecated; however, it is shipped by some Linux distributions.
