Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/lynx-2.8.5rel.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to lynx-2.8.5rel.5.
 Fixes an issue where the handling of Asian characters when using lynx to
 connect to an NNTP server (is this a common use?) could result in a buffer
 overflow causing the execution of arbitrary code.
