- From w3m release notes:

"Hironori SAKAMOTO found another security
vulnerability in w3m 0.3.2.x that w3m will miss to escape html tag
in img alt attribute, so malicious frame html may deceive you to
access your local files, cookies and so on."

SOLUTION

It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
net-www/w3m upgrade to w3m-0.3.2.2 as follows:

emerge sync

emerge clean
