Lynx had several buffer overflow problems in the near past.
Some weeks ago, the FreeBSD port of lynx had been marked FORBIDDEN because :
----
lynx-2.8.2rel.1 is forbidden: Riddled with buffer overflows                           
exploitable by a malicious server to execute code as the local user..
----
See the advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:08.lynx somewhere on www.freebsd.org

According to the fbsd-ports mailing-list, these buffer overflows were fixed
in lynx-2.8.3.dev23. So check your version :)
