Package        : mc
Vulnerability  : random program execution
Type           : local
Debian-specific: no
Fixed version  : 4.5.42-11.potato.6

It has been reported that a local user could tweak Midnight
Commander of another user into executing a random program under the
user id of the person running Midnight Commander. This behaviour
has been fixed by Andrew V. Samoilov.

We recommend you upgrade your mc package.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
