This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
Elinks is a text mode Web browser used from the command line that supports rendering modern web pages.
An arbitrary file access flaw was found in the Elinks SMB protocol handler. A malicious web page could have caused Elinks to read or write files with the permissions of the user running Elinks.
(CVE-2006-5925)
All users of Elinks are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue by removing support for the SMB protocol from Elinks.
