Description David Walser 2012-11-30 17:24:22 CET

Ubuntu has issued an advisory on November 29:
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1642-1/

Updated package uploaded for Cauldron.

Patched package uploaded for Mageia 1 and Mageia 2.

Advisory:
========================

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).
