 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                       MDKSA-2005:186-1
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : lynx
 Date    : October 26, 2005
 Affected: 10.1,  10.2,  2006.0,  Corporate 2.1,  Corporate 3.0,
           Multi Network Firewall 2.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Ulf Harnhammar discovered a remote buffer overflow in lynx versions
 2.8.2 through 2.8.5.
 
 When Lynx connects to an NNTP server to fetch information about the
 available articles in a newsgroup, it will call a function called
 HTrjis() with the information from certain article headers. The
 function adds missing ESC characters to certain data, to support
 Asian character sets. However, it does not check if it writes outside
 of the char array buf, and that causes a remote stack-based buffer
 overflow, with full control over EIP, EBX, EBP, ESI and EDI.                    
                                                                                 
 Two attack vectors to make a victim visit a URL to a dangerous news
 server are: (a) *redirecting scripts*, where the victim visits some
 web page and it redirects automatically to a malicious URL, and
 (b) *links in web pages*, where the victim visits some web page
 and selects a link on the page to a malicious URL. Attack vector
 (b) is helped by the fact that Lynx does not automatically display
 where links lead to, unlike many graphical web browsers.                 
 
 The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.

 Update:

 The previous patchset had a bug in the patches themselves, which was
 uncovered by Klaus Singvogel of Novell/SUSE in auditing crashes on 
 some architectures.
