Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:023 (lynx)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to lynx announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:023. A vulnerability was discovered in lynx, a text-mode web browser. The HTTP queries that lynx constructs are from arguments on the command line or the $WWW_HOME environment variable, but lynx does not properly sanitize special characters such as carriage returns or linefeeds. Extra headers can be inserted into the request because of this, which can cause scripts that use lynx to fetch data from the wrong site from servers that use virtual hosting. Affected versions: 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, Multi Network Firewall 8.2, Single Network Firewall 7.2 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2003:023 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2002-1405 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
