Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-874-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'lynx' package(s) announced via the DSA-874-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'lynx' package(s) announced via the DSA-874-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Ulf Harnhammar discovered a buffer overflow in lynx, a text-mode browser for the WWW 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) this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.4.1b-3.3. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.5-2sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your lynx package. Affected Software/OS: 'lynx' package(s) on Debian 3.0, Debian 3.1. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
