Package        : lynx-ssl
Vulnerability  : programming error
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2004-1617
BugTraq ID     : 11443
Debian Bug     : 296340

Michal Zalewski discovered that lynx, the popular text-mode WWW
Browser, is not able to grok invalid HTML including a TEXTAREA tag
with a large COLS value and a large tag name in an element that is not
terminated, and loops forever trying to render the broken HTML.  The
same code is present in lynx-ssl.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.8.4.1b-3.3.

The stable distribution (sarge) does not contain lynx-ssl packages
anymore.

The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain lynx-ssl packages
anymore.

We recommend that you upgrade your lynx-ssl package.
