MGASA-2012-0351
Date: 	November 30th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated lynx package fixes security vulnerability:

Lynx does not verify that the server's certificate is signed by a trusted
certification authority, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof
SSL servers via a crafted certificate, related to improper use of a certain
GnuTLS function (CVE-2012-5821).


Updated Packages:
Mageia 1:
lynx-2.8.7-4.1.mga1

Mageia 2:
lynx-2.8.7-4.1.mga2
