Andrew V. 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
