If these files were present in the current working directory, they would be loaded prior to similar files in the user's home directory. This could allow a local attacker to possibly execute arbitrary code as the user running Lynx, if they could convince the user to run Lynx in a directory under their control (CVE-2006-7234). A vulnerability was found in the Lynxcgi: URI handler that could allow 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. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-7234 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4690 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Corporate 3.0: 52caf1fa68f721262582a92b206d37cd corporate/3.0/i586/lynx-2.8.5-1.4.C30mdk.i586.rpm 3c047c7623e2225f8756b0c5bafda34d corporate/3.0/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.5-1.4.C30mdk.src.rpm Corporate 3.0/X86_64: 5cb50d077a5e7e7e0a013a2587d56c18 corporate/3.0/x86_64/lynx-2.8.5-1.4.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm 3c047c7623e2225f8756b0c5bafda34d corporate/3.0/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.5-1.4.C30mdk.src.rpm Corporate 4.0: e1759c02ffc4435cd36344c6e5739a0f corporate/4.0/i586/lynx-2.8.5-4.4.20060mlcs4.i586.rpm 18e40caa595ef9220aef5d988c656ef4 corporate/4.0/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.5-4.4.20060mlcs4.src.rpm Corporate 4.0/X86_64: 4c89dec9780616b58132b4632f81ec38 corporate/4.0/x86_64/lynx-2.8.5-4.4.20060mlcs4.x86_64.rpm 18e40caa595ef9220aef5d988c656ef4 corporate/4.0/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.5-4.4.20060mlcs4.src.rpm Multi Network Firewall 2.0: b7f3f30424e5ce4c4592f1ec0ff70e04 mnf/2.0/i586/lynx-2.8.5-1.4.C30mdk.i586.rpm 5cabc724908b48f46f7eb039390db4d0 mnf/2.0/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.5-1.4.C30mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
