Detail

In SNS Advisory No. 32 a buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in the routine which parses MIME headers that are returned from web servers. A malicious web server administrator could exploit this and let the client web browser execute arbitrary code.

We are awfully sorry, but the powerpc version in our announcement DSA 081-1 was built on the wrong distribution (unstable instead of stable), and thus depended on a wrong version of the glibc. We had to remove that file and cannot provide a fixed version.

For the powerpc architecture there is only a very old version of w3m available. We recommend that you don't use w3m on the powerpc distribution. If you require a text browser please check out links and lynx which are both good and stable.
