(RHSA-2004:172) mc security update

Midnight Commander (mc) is a visual shell much like a file manager.

Several buffer overflows, several temporary file creation vulnerabilities,
and one format string vulnerability have been discovered in Midnight
Commander. These vulnerabilities were discovered mostly by Andrew V.
Samoilov and Pavel Roskin. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0226,
CAN-2004-0231, and CAN-2004-0232 to these issues.

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported
patch to correct these issues.
