Vulnerability Id:        CVE-2002-1335, CVE-2002-1348
Vulnerability Scope:     global (not OpenPKG specific)

Attack Feasibility:      run-time
Attack Vector:           remote network

Description:
    According to Hironori Sakamoto, one of the w3m developers, two
    security vulnerabilities exist in w3m [0]. Releases before 0.3.2.1
    do not escape an HTML tag in a frame, which allows remote attackers
    to access files or cookies [1]. Releases before 0.3.2.2 do not
    properly escape HTML tags in the ALT attribute of an IMG tag, which
    could allow remote attackers to access files or cookies [2].
