+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Numerous security issues have been discovered in Midnight Commander,
+    including several buffer overflow vulnerabilities, multiple vulnerabilities
+    in the handling of temporary file and directory creation, and multiple
+    format string vulnerabilities.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    The buffer overflows and format string vulnerabilities may allow attackers
+    to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with permissions of
+    the user running MC. The insecure creation of temporary files and
+    directories could lead to a privilege escalation, including root
+    privileges, for a local attacker.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade
+    to version 4.6.0-r7 or higher of Midnight Commander.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Midnight Commander users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+    </p>
