Package:             wget
Vulnerability:       directory traversal vulnerability
OpenPKG Specific:    no

Affected Releases:   Affected Packages:          Corrected Packages:
OpenPKG CURRENT      <= wget-1.8.2-20021206      >= wget-1.8.2-20021216
OpenPKG 1.2          <= none                     N.A.
OpenPKG 1.1          <= wget-1.8.2-1.1.0         >= wget-1.8.2-1.1.1

Affected Releases:   Dependent Packages: none

Description:
  According to research done by Steve Christey [0], directory traversal
  vulnerabilities exist in many FTP clients including wget [1].
  Resolution of this issue was handled primarily through Mark Cox of
  Red Hat whose patches were incorporated into the wget 1.8.2 HEAD
  development branch of the vendor. The Common Vulnerabilities and
  Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2002-1344 [2] to the
  problem.

  Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
  wget". If you have the "wget" package installed and its version is
  affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
  (see Solution). [3][4]

Solution:
  Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
  [5], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [6] or a mirror location,
  verify its integrity [7], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [3]
  and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [4].
  For the release OpenPKG 1.1, perform the following operations to
  permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust
  accordingly).

  $ rpm --rebuild ftp ftp.openpkg.org
  ftp> bin
  ftp> cd release/1.1/UPD
  ftp> get wget-1.8.2-1.1.1.src.rpm
  ftp> bye
  $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig wget-1.8.2-1.1.1.src.rpm
  $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild wget-1.8.2-1.1.1.src.rpm
  $ su -
  # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/wget-1.8.2-1.1.1.*.rpm
