Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3541-1 [email protected]

Package : w3m
Version : 0.5.3-37+deb10u1
CVE ID : CVE-2022-38223
Debian Bug : 1019599

Han Zheng discovered an out-of-bounds write in w3m, a text based web
browser and pager. It can be triggered by sending a crafted HTML file
to the w3m binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service
(DoS) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
0.5.3-37+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your w3m packages.

For the detailed security status of w3m please refer to
its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/w3m
