Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLSA-2005:985 (wget)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLSA-2005:985. This announcement fixes a security vulnerability in wget which could allow a specially prepared remote 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. It also fixes another vulnerability where wget does not filter or quote control characters when displaying HTTP responses to the terminal, which may allow a specially crafted remote web server to inject terminal escape sequences and execute arbitrary code. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=000985 http://sunsite.dk/wget Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
