Check for the version of the gmc packages Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Updated mc packages that resolve a buffer overflow vulnerability are now available. Midnight Commander is a visual shell much like a file manager. A buffer overflow has been found in Midnight Commander's virtual filesystem code. Specifically, a stack-based buffer overflow in vfs_s_resolve_symlink of vfs/direntry.c permits remote attackers to execute arbitrary code during symlink conversion. Users of Midnight Commander should install these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
