W3m handles MIME headers included in the request/response message of
HTTP communication like any other we bbrowser.  A buffer overflow will
be occur when w3m receives a MIME encoded header with base64 format.

This problem has been fixed by the maintainer in version
0.1.10+0.1.11pre+kokb23-4 of w3m and w3m-ssl (for the SSL-enabled
