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
