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-2008-4690 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2008.0: 2a6a4130c12d3d45d926b49713420272 2008.0/i586/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2008.0.i586.rpm aa0ff44a80fa5b485b54f52d12b485f2 2008.0/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2008.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.0/X86_64: dcabb93ba8e48a0a96a632d2c8b11cb4 2008.0/x86_64/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2008.0.x86_64.rpm aa0ff44a80fa5b485b54f52d12b485f2 2008.0/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2008.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.1: 1e04683750a061eecbe58c1b4fe7b173 2008.1/i586/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2008.1.i586.rpm 68ddd2a1b9f991c11793a51dfbe9d9cb 2008.1/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2008.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.1/X86_64: 3ae02ae07a01e65aa16e3317e2d7afb0 2008.1/x86_64/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm 68ddd2a1b9f991c11793a51dfbe9d9cb 2008.1/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2008.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2009.0: 65c1c0a4cf6a8758bc8506b9a7b1d3c4 2009.0/i586/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm 0026bfc6799a2242afd794932ce0b5a8 2009.0/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2009.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2009.0/X86_64: 0ad22b9ff40e6c7b8fc8ce25c4ef51cc 2009.0/x86_64/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm 0026bfc6799a2242afd794932ce0b5a8 2009.0/SRPMS/lynx-2.8.6-2.1mdv2009.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
