Ubuntu Security Notice USN-206-2 October 29, 2005
lynx regression fix
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)
The following packages are affected:
lynx
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2.8.5-1ubuntu1.2 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 2.8.5-2ubuntu0.5.04.1 (for
Ubuntu 5.04), or 2.8.5-2ubuntu0.5.10.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general,
a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary
changes.
Details follow:
USN-206-1 fixed a security vulnerability in lynx. Unfortunately the
fix contained an error that caused lynx to crash under certain
circumstances. The updated packages fix this.
