lynx: multiple vulnerabilities
| Package(s): | lynx |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2008-4690
CVE-2006-7234
|
| Created: | October 27, 2008 |
Updated: | September 14, 2009 |
| Description: |
From the Red Hat advisory:
An arbitrary command execution flaw was found in the Lynx "lynxcgi:" URI
handler. An attacker could create a web page redirecting to a malicious URL
that could execute arbitrary code as the user running Lynx in the
non-default "Advanced" user mode. (CVE-2008-4690)
A flaw was found in a way Lynx handled ".mailcap" and ".mime.types"
configuration files. Files in the browser's current working directory were
opened before those in the user's home directory. A local attacker, able to
convince a user to run Lynx in a directory under their control, could
possibly execute arbitrary commands as the user running Lynx. (CVE-2006-7234)
