lynx vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote package "lynx" is missing a security patch. Description : Ulf Harnhammar discovered a remote vulnerability in Lynx when connecting to a news server (NNTP). The function that added missing escape chararacters to article headers did not check the size of the target buffer. Specially crafted news entries could trigger a buffer overflow, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running lynx. In order to exploit this, the user is not even required to actively visit a news site with Lynx since a malicious HTML page could automatically redirect to an nntp:// URL with malicious news items. Solution : Upgrade to : - lynx-2.8.5-2ubuntu0.5.10 (Ubuntu 5.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
