NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200502-24.NASL description The 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. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 17138 published 2005-02-18 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/17138 title GLSA-200502-24 : Midnight Commander: Multiple vulnerabilities
