Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for w3m, I'm aware that this
is as well already fixed in the upstream git master. This bug is just
to track the issue since unfixed in 0.5.3-30 so that we can record it
as fixed once enters unstable.

CVE-2016-9439[0]:
stack overflow

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

Regards and thanks for your work!

p.s.: all of the recently posted issues which got CVEs, seem to not
      warrant a DSA, but can be fixed via a point release. We have
      marked them already as such in the security-tracker.
