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

Weakness

The product calls free() twice on the same memory address, potentially leading to modification of unexpected memory locations.
