Mandriva: Subject: [Security Announce] [ MDVSA-2008:217 ] lynx

BugsAlert Home > Mandriva: Subject: [Security Announce] [ MDVSA-2008:217 ] lynx
 
 

LinuxSecurity.com: A flaw was found in the way Lynx handled .mailcap and .mime.types configuration files. If these files were present in the current working directory, they would be loaded prior to similar files in the user's home directory. This could allow a local attacker to possibly execute arbitrary code as the user running Lynx, if they could convince the user to run Lynx in a directory under their control (CVE-2006-7234)
