=========

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
w3m 0.5.1-3ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
w3m 0.5.1-4ubuntu2.6.06

Ubuntu 6.10:
w3m 0.5.1-4ubuntu2.6.10

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

A format string vulnerability was discovered in w3m. If a user were
tricked into visiting an HTTPS URL protected by a specially crafted SSL
certificate, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with user
privileges.
