The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lynx package and not the lynx package as distributed by Debian.
Lynx 2.8.5, and other versions before 2.8.6dev.15, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) lynxcgi:, (2) lynxexec, and (3) lynxprog links, which are not properly restricted in the default configuration in some environments.
