-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 1077-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze May 26th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : lynx-ssl Vulnerability : programming error Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2004-1617 BugTraq ID : 11443 Debian Bug : 296340 Michal Zalewski discovered that lynx, the popular text-mode WWW Browser, is not able to grok invalid HTML including a TEXTAREA tag with a large COLS value and a large tag name in an element that is not terminated, and loops forever trying to render the broken HTML. The same code is present in lynx-ssl. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.4.1b-3.3. The stable distribution (sarge) does not contain lynx-ssl packages anymore. The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain lynx-ssl packages anymore. We recommend that you upgrade your lynx-ssl package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given at the end of this advisory: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
