Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2003:372
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2003:372. GNU Wget is a file-retrieval utility that uses the HTTP and FTP protocols. A buffer overflow in the url_filename function for wget 1.8.1 allows attackers to cause a segmentation fault via a long URL. Red Hat does not believe that this issue is exploitable to allow an attacker to be able to run arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2002-1565 to this issue. Users of wget should install the erratum package, which contains a backported security patch and is not vulnerable to this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-372.html Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
