Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=152832

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : lynx
Versions    : rh73: lynx-2.8.4-18.3.legacy
Versions    : rh9: lynx-2.8.5-11.2.legacy
Versions    : fc1: lynx-2.8.5-13.2.legacy
Versions    : fc2: lynx-2.8.5-15.2.legacy
Summary     : A text-based Web browser.
Description :
Lynx is a text-based Web browser. Lynx does not display any images,
but it does support frames, tables, and most other HTML tags. One
advantage Lynx has over graphical browsers is speed; Lynx starts and
exits quickly and swiftly displays webpages.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

An updated lynx package that corrects security issues is now available.

Lynx is a text-based Web browser.

An arbitrary command execute bug was found in the lynx "lynxcgi:" URI
handler. An attacker could create a web page redirecting to a malicious
URL which could execute arbitrary code as the user running lynx. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name
CVE-2005-2929 to this issue.

Ulf Harnhammar discovered a stack overflow bug in Lynx when handling
connections to NNTP (news) servers. An attacker could create a web page
redirecting to a malicious news server which could execute arbitrary
code as the user running lynx. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project assigned the name CVE-2005-3120 to this issue.

Users should update to this erratum package, which contains backported
patches to correct these issues.
