Samoilov has noticed that several bugfixes which were applied to the source by upstream developers of mc, the midnight commander, a file browser and manager, were not backported to the current version of mc that Debian ships in their stable release. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following vulnerabilities: CAN-2004-1004 Multiple format string vulnerabilities CAN-2004-1005 Multiple buffer overflows CAN-2004-1009 One infinite loop vulnerability CAN-2004-1090 Denial of service via corrupted section header CAN-2004-1091 Denial of service via null dereference CAN-2004-1092 Freeing unallocated memory CAN-2004-1093 Denial of service via use of already freed memory CAN-2004-1174 Denial of service via manipulating non-existing file handles CAN-2004-1175 Unintended program execution via insecure filename quoting CAN-2004-1176 Denial of service via a buffer underflow For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 4.5.55-1.2woody5 For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems should already be fixed since they were backported from current versions. We recommend that you upgrade your mc package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
