Description Zombie Ryushu 2020-12-04 11:30:16 CET 
w3m through 0.5.3 does not properly handle temporary files when the ~/.w3m directory is unwritable, which allows a local attacker to craft a symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary files.
Comment 1 David Walser 2020-12-04 13:36:41 CET 
Already fixed.
