Debian Security Advisory DSA-1902-1 security@debian.org

Package : elinks
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-7224
Debian Bug : 380347
Jakub Wilk discovered an off-by-one buffer overflow in the charset
handling of elinks, a feature-rich text-mode WWW browser, which might
lead to the execution of arbitrary code if the user is tricked into
opening a malformed HTML page.
For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.11.1-1.2etch2.
The stable distribution (lenny) and the unstable distribution (sid)
already contain a patch for this problem.
We recommend that you upgrade your elinks package.
