Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53857
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-209)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wget' package(s) announced via the DSA-209 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wget' package(s) announced via the DSA-209 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Two problems have been found in the wget package as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux:

Stefano Zacchiroli found a buffer overrun in the url_filename function, which would make wget segfault on very long URLs

Steven M. Christey discovered that wget did not verify the FTP server response to a NLST command: it must not contain any directory information, since that can be used to make an FTP client overwrite arbitrary files.

Both problems have been fixed in version 1.5.3-3.1 for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2/potato and version 1.8.1-6.1 for Debian GNU/Linux 3.0/woody.

Affected Software/OS:
'wget' package(s) on Debian 3.0.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
