Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2004:035. 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 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code during symlink conversion. Users of Midnight Commander should install these updated packages, which resolve this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-035.html Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
