    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200502-24 (Midnight Commander: Multiple vulnerabilities) Midnight Commander contains several format string vulnerabilities (CAN-2004-1004), buffer overflows (CAN-2004-1005), a memory deallocation error (CAN-2004-1092) and a buffer underflow (CAN-2004-1176). Impact : An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Midnight Commander or cause Denial of Service by freeing unallocated memory. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
