Problem description: GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility that can use either the HTTP or FTP protocols. A bug was found in the way wget writes files to the local disk. If a malicious local user has write access to the directory wget is saving a file into, it is possible to overwrite files that the user running wget has write access to. (CAN-2004-2014) A bug was found in the way wget filters redirection URLs. It is possible for a malicious Web server to overwrite files the user running wget has write access to. Note: in order for this attack to succeed the local DNS would need to resolve ".." to an IP address, which is an unlikely situation. (CAN-2004-1487) A bug was found in the way wget displays HTTP response codes. It is possible that a malicious web server could inject a specially crafted terminal escape sequence capable of misleading the user running wget. (CAN-2004-1488) 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. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 144214 - CAN-2004-1487 Several wget vulnerabilities (CAN-2004-1488) 157498 - CAN-2004-2014 wget symlink race 165782 - wget man page incomplete |
