DSA-064-1 w3m Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment SecureNet Service reported that w3m (a console web browser) has a buffer overflow in its MIME header parsing code. This could be exploited by a possible hacker if by making a web-server a user visits return carefully crafted MIME headers. This has been fixed in version 0.1.10+0.1.11pre+kokb23-4, and we recommend that you upgrade your w3m package.
