=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-457-1               May 07, 2007
elinks vulnerability
CVE-2007-2027
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

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 6.06 LTS:
  elinks                                   0.10.6-1ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
  elinks                                   0.11.1-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 7.04:
  elinks                                   0.11.1-1.2ubuntu2.1

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

Details follow:

Arnaud Giersch discovered that elinks incorrectly attempted to load 
gettext catalogs from a relative path.  If a user were tricked into 
running elinks from a specific directory, a local attacker could execute 
code with user privileges.
