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 (at) immunix (dot) com [email concealed]>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
