        Immunix Secured OS Security Advisory

Packages updated:       wget
Affected products:      ImmunixOS 7+
Bugs fixed:             CAN-2002-1344
Date:                   Tue Jun  3 2003
Advisory ID:            IMNX-2003-7+-011-01

Description:
  Steven M. Christey has discovered wget did not perform sufficient
  input sanitization of ftp server responses; this could allow a
  malicious ftp server to overwrite files through wget, if the wget
  process permissions allow the file overwriting.

  Stefano Zacchiroli has found a buffer overrun that can make wget
  segfault on long URLs. We do not know if this is remotely exploitable.
