CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2005:803

Lynx is a text-based Web browser.

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 CAN-2005-3120 to this issue.

Users should update to this erratum package, which contains a backported
patch to correct this issue.

Affected packages:
lynx
