|---|---|
| 5920 | Midnight Commander Symbolic Link DoS Midnight Commander (mc) contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The problem is that the program fails to check for "negative"-size files (e.g. with wrong file structure information), which may allow a malicious user to create a symlink to destroy any file on the system, resulting in a loss of availability for the machine. |
