Problem Description:

Several vulnerabilities in Midnight Commander were found by Jacub Jelinek. This includes several buffer overflows (CAN-2004-0226), as well as a format string issue (CAN-2004-0232), and an issue with temporary file and directory creation (CAN-2004-0231). Most of the included fixes are backports from CVS, done by Andrew V. Samoilov and Pavel Roskin.

The updated packages are patched to correct these problems.
