NTFS-3G Update Brings Many Security Fixes

NTFS-3G 2026.9.18 has been released, addressing numerous security vulnerabilities discovered in recent months, including several heap buffer overflows, heap data corruption, and a denial-of-service vector. The FUSE-based open-source NTFS driver, used as an alternative to Linux's in-kernel NTFS and NTFS3 drivers, fixed issues such as out-of-bounds reads/writes, ACL inheritance bugs, and stale metadata handling. Each vulnerability is tracked with its own GHSA advisory ID. The update is available now on GitHub.
