This updates Lynx to the official 2.8.5.rel5 patchlevel. This release contains the following security related patches: * modify LYLoadCGI() to prompt user, displaying the command that would be executed, to confirm that it should be. This makes it easier to notice when a local program would be run by activating a lynxcgi link. This is not done in advanced mode, since the URL is already visible in the status line (report by vade79, comments by Greg MacManus) -TD * eliminate fixed-size buffers in HTrjis() and related functions to avoid potential buffer overflow in nntp pages (report by Ulf Harnhammar, CAN-2005-3120) -TD To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: "cygwin at cygwin dot com". I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
