(Midnight Commander: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    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.
  
Impact :

    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.
  
Workaround :

    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."
