an attacker to create a web page redirecting to a malicious URL that
would execute arbitrary code as the user running Lynx, if they were
using the non-default Advanced user mode (CVE-2008-4690).
This update corrects these issues and, in addition, makes Lynx always
prompt the user before loading a lynxcgi: URI. As well, the default
lynx.cfg configuration file marks all lynxcgi: URIs as untrusted.";
