  Security issues fixed:

  value (bsc#1077559)

  - CVE-2018-6197: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in formUpdateBuffer
  (bsc#1077568)

  - CVE-2018-6198: w3m did not properly handle temporary files when the
  ~/.w3m directory is unwritable, which allowed a local attacker to craft
  a symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary files (bsc#1077572)
