3. Problem description:

GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility that can use either the HTTP or FTP protocols.

A stack based buffer overflow bug was found in the wget implementation of NTLM authentication. An attacker could execute arbitrary code on a user's machine if the user can be tricked into connecting to a malicious web server using NTLM authentication. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2005-3185 to this issue.

All users of wget are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch that resolves this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
20012 cURL/libcURL NTLM Username ntlm_output() Function Overflow

20011 GNU wget NTLM Username ntlm_output() Function Overflow

A remote overflow exists in wget. The 'ntlm_output()' function fails to perform proper bounds checking resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted HTTP redirect request containing an overly long NTLM username, a remote attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
