The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'mc' package(s) announced via the DSA-639-1 advisory. Several bugfixes were not backported to the current version of mc that Debian ships in their stable release, leading to multiple vulnerabilities including format string, buffer overflow, infinite loop, denial of service, unintended program execution, and memory related issues

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.");
