  It was discovered that w3m is affected by the previously published "null
  prefix attack", caused by incorrect handling of NULL characters in X.509
  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)
  
  All w3m users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
  backported patch to correct this issue.";
