Hi,
there is a problem with mc (BugTraq ID 1945), that allows any local
user to overwrite the first byte of any file (/vmlinuz, /dev/hda,
whatever) with a Zero.
A fixed package has been uploaded to unstable (4.5.51-11). Until fixed
packages are created for stable I advice anyone using mc (dpkg -l mc
will show) to disable the cons.saver helper application using
chmod -x /usr/lib/mc/bin/cons.saver
cons.saver is normaly used for a screensaver on the linux virtual
console.
Ciao,
Martin
