----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Author: Seth Arnold <sarnold@immunix.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
