CVE-ID : CVE-2021-38165
Package : lynx
Type : information disclosure
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-2261
The package lynx before version 2.8.9-4 is vulnerable to information
disclosure.
Upgrade to 2.8.9-4.
The problem has been fixed upstream but no release is available yet.
None.
HTParse in Lynx through 2.8.9 mishandles the userinfo subcomponent of a
URI, which allows remote attackers to discover cleartext credentials
because they may appear in SNI data or HTTP headers.
A remote attacker could retrieve HTTP Basic Authentication credentials.
