Descriptions

Lynx before 2.8.9dev.16 is vulnerable to a use after free in the HTML parser resulting in memory disclosure, because HTML_put_string() can append a chunk onto itself.

Lynx en versiones anteriores a la 2.8.9dev.16 es vulnerable a un uso de memoria previamente liberada en el analizador HTML, lo que resulta en una fuga de información, ya que HTML_put_string() puede acoplarse un fragmento de información (chunk).
