Yes. The enhanced version elinks is also affected. Some versions of
links and elinks URL-encode the space character, so you have to use tab
characters instead of spaces to exploit this.

Both the links and the elinks maintainers were notified on the 13th of
August, but as they both live in the Czech Republic, they have been
affected by the recent floods in Central Europe. Because of this dilemma,
it is possible that they would appreciate a patch for this security hole
from some experienced C programmer (unlike myself).
