|
|
Numerous security issues have been discovered in Midnight Commander,
|
|
including several buffer overflow vulnerabilities, multiple vulnerabilities
|
|
in the handling of temporary file and directory creation, and multiple
|
|
format string vulnerabilities.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
The buffer overflows and format string vulnerabilities may allow attackers
|
|
to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with permissions of
|
|
the user running MC. The insecure creation of temporary files and
|
|
directories could lead to a privilege escalation, including root
|
|
privileges, for a local attacker.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade
|
|
to version 4.6.0-r7 or higher of Midnight Commander.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Midnight Commander users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
|
|
