Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Midnight Commander version 4.5.1

Description A buffer overflow issue in the mcedit component of Midnight Commander allows local users to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a segmentation fault, and may also enable the execution of arbitrary code. This can be achieved by using a specially crafted text file.

Recommendations For Midnight Commander version 4.5.1, consider avoiding the use of mcedit with untrusted text files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of mcedit to minimize the risk of exploitation.
