NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200405-21.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200405-21 (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.
