commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=5bb9d79f276551c8fb7a774d8c7bd0f47a9e9809
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Lynx through 2.8.9 mishandles the userinfo subcomponent of a URI, which
allows remote attackers to discover cleartext credentials because they may
appear in SNI data.

Upstream unfortunately does not provide a public VCS (only source
snapshots), so fetch the security patch from Debian.
