It was discovered that w3m is affected by the previously published 'null

certificates. If an attacker is able to get a carefully-crafted certificate
signed by a trusted Certificate Authority, the attacker could use the
certificate during a man-in-the-middle attack and potentially confuse w3m
into accepting it by mistake. (CVE-2010-2074)

backported patch to correct this issue.");
