+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Midnight Commander users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=app-misc/mc-4.6.0-r7
+ # emerge "&gt;=app-misc/mc-4.6.0-r7"</code>
