Package : lynx
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2004-1617
BugTraq ID : 11443
Debian Bug : 296340

Michal Zalewski discovered that lynx, the popular text-mode WWW
Browser, is not able to grok invalid HTML including a TEXTAREA tag
with a large COLS value and a large tag name in an element that is not
terminated, and loops forever trying to render the broken HTML.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.8.4.1b-3.4.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.8.5-2sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.8.5-2sarge2.

We recommend that you upgrade your lynx package.
