Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2005-06-16 17:44 - Updated: 2025-11-21 17:29Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: mc security update
Severity
Moderate
Notes
Topic: Updated mc packages that fix several security issues are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.
Details: Midnight Commander is a visual shell much like a file manager.
Several denial of service bugs were found in Midnight Commander. These bugs
could cause Midnight Commander to hang or crash if a victim opens a
carefully crafted file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-1009, CAN-2004-1090,
CAN-2004-1091, CAN-2004-1093 and CAN-2004-1174 to these issues.
A filename quoting bug was found in Midnight Commander's FISH protocol
handler. If a victim connects via embedded SSH support to a host containing
a carefully crafted filename, arbitrary code may be executed as the user
running Midnight Commander. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1175 to this issue.
A buffer overflow bug was found in the way Midnight Commander handles
directory completion. If a victim uses completion on a maliciously crafted
directory path, it is possible for arbitrary code to be executed as the
user running Midnight Commander. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0763 to this issue.
Users of mc are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain
backported security patches to correct these issues.

These bugs\ncould cause Midnight Commander to hang or crash if a victim opens a\ncarefully crafted file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project\n(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-1009, CAN-2004-1090,\nCAN-2004-1091, CAN-2004-1093 and CAN-2004-1174 to these issues.\n\nA filename quoting bug was found in Midnight Commander\u0027s FISH protocol\nhandler. If a victim connects via embedded SSH support to a host containing\na carefully crafted filename, arbitrary code may be executed as the user\nrunning Midnight Commander. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures\nproject (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1175 to this issue.\n\nA buffer overflow bug was found in the way Midnight Commander handles\ndirectory completion. If a victim uses completion on a maliciously crafted\ndirectory path, it is possible for arbitrary code to be executed as the\nuser running Midnight Commander. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures\nproject (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0763 to this issue.\n\nUsers of mc are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain\nbackported security patches to correct these issues.",

RHSA-2005_512
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2005-06-16 17:44 - Updated: 2024-11-21 23:49Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: mc security update
Severity
Moderate
Notes
Topic: Updated mc packages that fix several security issues are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.
Details: Midnight Commander is a visual shell much like a file manager.
Several denial of service bugs were found in Midnight Commander. These bugs
could cause Midnight Commander to hang or crash if a victim opens a
carefully crafted file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-1009, CAN-2004-1090,
CAN-2004-1091, CAN-2004-1093 and CAN-2004-1174 to these issues.
A filename quoting bug was found in Midnight Commander's FISH protocol
handler. If a victim connects via embedded SSH support to a host containing
a carefully crafted filename, arbitrary code may be executed as the user
running Midnight Commander. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1175 to this issue.
A buffer overflow bug was found in the way Midnight Commander handles
directory completion. If a victim uses completion on a maliciously crafted
directory path, it is possible for arbitrary code to be executed as the
user running Midnight Commander. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0763 to this issue.
Users of mc are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain
backported security patches to correct these issues.
