The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'lynx, lynx-ssl' package(s) announced via the DSA-210 advisory. Lynx and lynx-ssl did not properly check for illegal characters in all places, including processing of command line options, which could be used to insert extra HTTP headers in a request. For Debian GNU/Linux 3.0/woody this has been fixed in version 2.8.4.1b-3.2 of the lynx package and version 1:2.8.4.1b-3.1 of the lynx-ssl package
