(Buffer overflow in Midnight Commander)

    A stack-based buffer overflow has been found in Midnight Commander's

Impact :

    This overflow allows an attacker to run arbitrary code on the user's
    computer during the symlink conversion process.
  
Workaround :

    While a workaround is not currently known for this issue, all users are
    advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package."
