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
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.
