The package now correctly handles authentication subcomponents in URIs (eg. [link moved to references]) to avoid remote attackers discovering cleartext credentials in SSL connection data.

CVE-2021-38165

Lynx through 2.8.9 mishandles the userinfo subcomponent of a URI, which allows remote attackers to discover cleartext credentials because they may appear in SNI data.

For Debian 9 Stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.9dev11-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your lynx packages.
