I've never heard of GSS-Negotiate before.  Found a description at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4559/

There's no POC, that I can find.  For testing, just confirming simple
web pages are working.

Testing complete on Mageia 2 i586 and x86-64.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
elinks-0.12-1.1.mga2.src.rpm
from Mageia 2 Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.

Advisory: Updated elinks package fixes security vulnerability:

Marko Myllynen discovered that ELinks, a powerful text-mode browser,
incorrectly delegates user credentials during GSS-Negotiate (CVE-2012-4545).
