Debian Security Advisory DSA 1085-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
June 1st, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : lynx-ssl
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CVE-2004-1617 CAN-2005-3120
BugTraq ID : 11443
Debian Bug : 296340
Several vulnerabilities have been discoverd in lynx, the popular
text-mode WWW browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
Project identifies the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2004-1617
Michal Zalewski discovered that lynx 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.
CAN-2005-3120
Ulf Härnhammar discovered a buffer overflow that can be remotely
exploited. During the handling of Asian characters when connecting
to an NNTP server lynx can be tricked to write past the boundary
of a buffer which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.8.5-2.5woody1.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.8.6-9sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your lynx-cur package.
