    mc such a handy tool on the console, like xtree or windows 1.0 but may need to be patched.

    http://www.debian.org/security/2005/dsa-639 - Debian
    not sure if it also affects ubuntu and knoppix but probable

    Description:
    Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Midnight Commander, where many have an unknown impact and others can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially perform certain actions with escalated privileges

    Andrew V. Samoilov has noticed that several bugfixes which were applied to the source by upstream developers of mc, the midnight commander, a file browser and manager, were not backported to the current version of mc that Debian ships in their stable release
