Description:   Opened: 2007-05-07 16:13 0000 
Untrusted search path vulnerability in the add_filename_to_string function in
intl/gettext/loadmsgcat.c for Elinks 0.11.1 adds "../po" to the search path for
.po files, which might allow local users to cause Elinks to use an untrusted
gettext message catalog, which can be leveraged to conduct format string
attacks.

Thx Micheal. 

Could you make a revbump of the latest stable so users can use glsa-check to
upgrade and arches have a chance to test?

Woops didn't mean to CC arches already. Sorry for the noise.

Done, 0.11.2-r1 is in CVS now.
