An updated lynx package that corrects a security flaw is now available.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

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.

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