+    Clint Ruoho reported that the fix for CVE-2005-2929 (GLSA 200511-09)
+    only disabled the lynxcgi:// handler when not using the advanced mode.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker can entice a user to access a malicious HTTP server,
+    causing Lynx to execute arbitrary commands. NOTE: The advanced mode is
+    not enabled by default. Successful exploitation requires the
+    "lynxcgi://" protocol to be registered with lynx on the victim's
+    system.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Lynx users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/lynx-2.8.6-r4"</code>
+  </resolution>
