Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.3-34
Severity: important
Tags: patch security upstream pending

Only when ~/.w3m is unwritable, w3m uses /tmp in an insecure fashion,
which allows a local attacker to craft a symlink attack to overwrite
arbitrary files.

Patch is available:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/w3m/commit/18dcbadf2771cdb0c18509b14e4e73505b242753

Will be fixed in the next upload.
