Vulnerability Insight:
The following packages are affected:

CVE-2004-1487
wget 1.8.x and 1.9.x allows a remote malicious web server to overwrite
certain files via a redirection URL containing a '..' that resolves to
the IP address of the malicious server, which bypasses wget's
filtering for '..' sequences.

CVE-2004-1488
wget 1.8.x and 1.9.x does not filter or quote control characters when
displaying HTTP responses to the terminal, which may allow remote
malicious web servers to inject terminal escape sequences and execute
arbitrary code.

Solution:
Update your system with the appropriate patches or
software upgrades.
